Mark Davis is a professor of psychology at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. He has studied social behavior for more than 20 years, and his articles on such topics as loneliness, social support, helping behavior, empathy, and interpersonal conflict have been widely published. He is the author of Empathy: A Sociological Approach and has been deeply involved in the development of two widely used psychological instruments: the Interpersonal Reactivity Index and the Conflict Dynamics Profile(tm).
Ten years after Daniel Goleman's blockbuster Emotional Intelligence, Davis, a professor of psychology, offers self-administered tests for readers to evaluate their own degree of emotional intelligence, or EQ. Davis acknowledges that the tests haven't been developed with as much precision as expensive commercial instruments. The tests are divided into chapters on "recognizing emotional states," "understanding emotions," "regulating and controlling emotions" and "using emotions effectively," and are in a variety of questionnaire-based styles. At the end of the book, Davis provides a chapter on how to improve one's emotional intelligence. Although some tests won't apply to all readers (many of the scenarios and questions refer to children and spouses, for example), the book makes a concise introduction to the parameters of emotional intelligence, and its corollaries in behavior.
