The Emotional Intelligence, Health, and Well‐Being Nexus: What Have We Learned and What Have We Missed?
Abstract
This paper reviews the claimed pivotal role of emotional intelligence (EI) in well‐being and health. Specifically, we examine the utility of EI in predicting health and well‐being and point to future research issues that the field might profitably explore. EI is predictive of various indicators of well‐being, as well as both physical and psychological health, but existing research has methodological limitations including over‐reliance on self‐report measures, and neglect of overlap between EI and personality measures. Interventions focusing on emotional perception, understanding and expression, and emotion regulation, seem potentially important for improving health and well‐being, but research on EI has not yet made a major contribution to therapeutic practice. Future research, using a finer‐grained approach to measurement of both predictors and criteria might most usefully focus on intra‐ and inter‐personal processes that may mediate effects of EI on health.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
