In other words, from philosophical and scientific points of view, it is difficult to accept that there is one and only one universal concept of “Emotional Intelligence.”
Paul: My understanding is that Emotional Intelligence (EI) is basically being able to recognize other people's emotions and also to understand and control your own emotions.
Since each culture has different emotional standards, it makes sense that there would be different determinants of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in each culture.
I actually just attended a one-day workshop on how to understand Emotional Intelligence in the USA offered by the Fred Pryor Learning Solutions.

Your suggestion that emotional intelligence is a multiaspectual psychological construct is reflective of your insightful observation of the issue. In point of fact, EI consists of several components ; namely, self-awareness, motivation, empathy, self-regulation and social skill. These components at work guarantee the appropriate use of EI by the interactants in various communicative events.
Paul Stock Is there a European EI? An Asian EI? Please clarify. I am confused.
