The circumplex model of emotion is "a psychological model that represents emotions as points on a two-dimensional circular graph, with the primary axes being "valence" (positive to negative) and "arousal" (low to high), meaning emotions can be plotted based on how pleasant or unpleasant they are and how intense they are; essentially describing the emotional state through these two key dimensions."[10]

"Emotions can be complex, scary and overwhelming. How can we make sense of them, navigate them more effectively, and not feel overwhelmed by them?

Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions and its 8 primary emotions

According to James Madison University: "There are 8 primary emotions. You are born with these emotions wired into your brain. That wiring causes your body to react in certain ways and for you to have certain urges when the emotion arises."[12] See: List of primary emotions and List of primary emotions at James Madison University.

Low emotional intelligence: Signs, problems and solving problems associated with low emotional individuals

Signs of low emotional intelligence:

Problems with Low Emotional Intelligence

One problem with low emotional intelligence is that people cannot handle hard truths in life, and thus safe spaces are being commonly made because of this. Other issues include blaming others, lack of empathy, not being able to understand how others feel, and many more. [13] However, one of the biggest problems with low emotional intelligence is that it links to criminal behavior, as studies have shown that convicted offenders have lower emotional intelligence than most people.[14]

Emotional bias

See also: Emotional bias

An emotional bias is a bias which stems from impulse or intuition (Emotional biases tend to result from reasoning influenced by feelings).[15] Emotional biases are harder to control for many people because they are based on feelings, which can be difficult to change for some individuals.[16]

In investing, common emotional biases are "loss aversion, overconfidence, self-control (People fail to act in pursuit of their long-term, overarching goals because of a lack of self-discipline), status quo, endowment effect, and regret aversion. Understanding and detecting biases is the first step in overcoming the effect of biases on financial decisions."[17]

List of emotional biases

Emotional Maturity

Emotionally mature people seek to fix the problem or behavior rather than blame someone else for their problems. [18] This involves putting how others feel before oneself this develops character and builds personal growth. [19] It also involves being flexibility such as being able to see every situation as unique, and a way to adapt to it. [20]

Journaling and increasing emotional intelligence

See also: Diary

Journaling can increase one's emotional intelligence. The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences notes: "Journaling can help you make sense of how you’re feeling about a certain person or situation that is troubling or inspiring you. It can also help you understand your triggers. The process of writing down your thoughts as honestly and with as little judgment as possible allows for self-discovery. When you get to know yourself better, you develop a deeper understanding of your reactions, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as what environments help you thrive."[21]

Liberal Response

Despite being a conservative trait the term and promotion for it is unfortunately exploited to promote left-wing causes and often used for emotional manipulation of children in the school systems because of Daniel Goleman's book "Emotional Intelligence", promoting concepts such as reducing core subjects as a social element to homosexual acceptance in schools and even banning corporal punishment.[22]
