Objectives and Key Themes

This dissertation explores the relationship between emotional intelligence, academic intelligence, and speed of mind, with a particular focus on emotion perception. It examines existing theories and models of intelligence, including Sternberg's Theory of Successful Intelligence, Multiple Intelligences, and the Berlin Structural Model of Intelligence. The research delves into the connection between reaction time (RT) and intelligence, investigating various paradigms such as the Hick-Paradigm, the Sternberg-Paradigm, and the Posner-Paradigm. The work further examines the concept of emotional intelligence, exploring different theoretical frameworks and measures.

• The relationship between intelligence and speed of mind
• The role of emotion perception in intelligence
• The conceptualization and measurement of emotional intelligence
• The influence of cultural and developmental factors on intelligence and emotion processing
• The impact of brain structures and neural processes on emotional intelligence.

Chapter Summaries

Chapter One introduces the concept of intelligence, exploring different theories and models, including Sternberg's Theory of Successful Intelligence, Social Intelligence, Multiple Intelligences, and the Berlin Structural Model. It also examines intelligence as a unitary concept and discusses Carroll's Three Stratum Theory of Intelligence.

Chapter Two delves into the relationship between intelligence and speed of mind. It examines studies on the connection between reaction time (RT) and intelligence, exploring various paradigms and their correlation patterns. The chapter also discusses the role of information psychology and the issue of movement time in the context of RT measures.

Chapter Three explores the concept of emotions, discussing various models and theories, including the prototypical model and the concept of basic emotions. It examines the vascular theory of emotion and the influence of neural structures and processes on emotional experiences, particularly in the context of mental deficits such as schizophrenia and autism.

Chapter Four focuses on the concept of emotional intelligence, examining different theoretical frameworks and measures, including the EI model conceptualized by Salovey and Mayer and the Bar-On EQ-I. It explores the debate on whether EI is an intelligence and discusses the criticism of the ability concept of EI.
