However, social and emotional cognition can be subdivided into a number of distinct dimensions, and some work suggests that analytic thinking is in tension with some aspects of social-emotional cognition. This leaves open two questions. First, is belief linked to social and emotional cognition in general, or a specific dimension in particular? Second, does the negative relationship between belief and analytic thinking still hold after relationships with social and emotional cognition are taken into account? We report eight hypothesis-driven studies which examine these questions. These studies are guided by a theoretical model which focuses on the distinct social and emotional processing deficits associated with autism spectrum disorders (mentalizing) and psychopathy (moral concern). To our knowle...

For millions of people, the attacks of September 11 put the issue front and center, but most of us periodically take stock of our lives under far less dramatic circumstances. This type of questioning is healthy; business leaders need to go through it every few years to replenish their energy, creativity, and commitment--and their passion for work. In this article, the authors describe the signals that it's time to reevaluate your choices and illuminate strategies for responding to those signals. Such wake-up calls come in various forms. Some people feel trapped or bored and may realize that they have adjusted to the frustrations of their work to such an extent that they barely recognize themselves. For others, the signal comes when they are faced with an ethical challenge or suddenly discover their true calling. Once you have realized that it's time to ...

Since 1970, the study of competencies and their predictive relationship to effectiveness in many occupations in many types of organizations, sectors, and countries has allowed for the understanding of how functionally related clusters of behavior organized around a specific unconscious intent. Because of the behavioral nature of the competencies, measurement is more observable than projective tests, more holistic (i.e., incorporating physiological states as well as mental and emotional ones), and easier to use in applied settings. In this chapter, the history of research evidence is reviewed along with the theoretical distinctions and an empirically tested model for developing competencies in adults.

Emotional and social intelligence competencies distinguish effective performance among managers, ... more Emotional and social intelligence competencies distinguish effective performance among managers, leaders, and professionals. People in power (i.e., leading and helping) roles infect others with their emotional state through the contagion of emotion. The consequences of using emotional and social intelligence competencies are amplified in work and social settings. Although most attempts to develop these competencies at work and in graduate education fail, there is longitudinal evidence that they can be sustainably developed. Intentional Change Theory explains the physiological and psychological processes that result in significant improvement in these competencies. The three most distinctive aspects of this model, in contrast to typical approaches, include: (1) fostering the person’s ideal self, their personal vision, and their dream before exposing them to any data feedback; (2) using coaches to create relationships that help someone through the process; and (3) developing social id...

A conceptual framework of helping relationships is presented which includes the nature of the task, the helper, the receiver of help, the environment and psychological climate of the relationship, and the information feedback which occurs during the relationship. The study focuses on the helper, his motivation, self-image, and style of communicating with the receiver of help. Effective helpers are found to have moderate levels of achievement, power, and affiliation motivation in contrast to ineffective helpers (those individuals who unsuccessfully try to help) and nonhelpers (those individuals who do not try to help). Effective helpers are found to have self-images which are somewhere between the self-images of ineffective helpers and nonhelpers on s...
