Question

Please discuss the main point of this paragraph…

Emotional-intelligence, An example of a relationship-harming attribution could be taking your feelings about other situations out on your partner. If you are in a bad mood and your partner does not do something you asked for example, you may be inclined to react in a more upset manner. You may respond with, "you always forget to do the things I ask, you must not care about my feelings." This would be an example of the internal, stable, and global attribution styles. It is internal because you are putting the blame directly on your partner, stable because you refer to the fact that they "always" forget, and global because you are using this as an example of how they must not care. An emotional intelligence skill that is very important and could have prevented this situation is self-regulation. If the person in this scenario would have realized their emotions and taken a step back to asses the situation the whole argument may have been avoided.

Answer 1

The paragraph talks about the importance of Emotional Intelligence in relationships. Self regulation is an important component of emotional intelligence. It is also of much significance in relationships as it may help to avoid conflicts. Having the ability to control one's emotions in tense situations may prevent the situations from escalating. It is also important to make external instead of internal attributions when trying to convey your expectations to your partner. This may prevent the other person from feeling blamed.
