Description
Summary:The present research features manifestation of emotional intelligence in preferences for conflict interaction tactics in Russian and Dutch test groups. The experiment included 146 Russian (40.4 % men, 59.6% women, mean age 20.15) and 125 Dutch students (33.6 % men, 66.4 % women, mean age 21.62). The method of behavioral scenarios was applied to evaluate preferences of tactics in a conflict situation. The participants were presented with interpersonal conflict scenarios with high power and equal partners in interpersonal and business relations. Their emotional intelligence was measured by Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test. The research showed that emotional intelligence predetermined preferences for constructive emotion expression in both groups. In addition, the Russian test group showed preferences for constructive problem solving, while the Dutch participants demonstrated less irony and showed no readiness for indirect aggression.
