One should be able to read them in voices, gestures and works of art. Empathy is difficult without this. Also one should be able to communicate one’s emotions.
The second component is the ability to access and generate emotions in the service of thinking and problem solving. Emotions provide the basis for decision making, reasoning and creativity. non
The third component is the ability to understand emotional meanings. We may know we are anxious but we also need to know why we are anxious. Attributing the emotion to particular cause is important. One should be able to analyze the antecedent events as well as the outcomes of emotional experiences.
The final component is emotional regulation. This refers to the ability to manage and regulate emotions appropriately. Letting emotions rage unabated is unhealthy. Completely controlling them is equally unhealthy.
