The concept of "emotional intelligence" has been extensively popularized in the lay press and corporate world as individuals purport the potential ability of emotional intelligence to predict various markers of success. Emotional intelligence (EI) most commonly incorporates concepts of emotional expression and regulation, self-awareness, and empathy. The concept has been criticized by some for its loose definition and parallels to personality traits. Additionally, several limitations to the instruments used to measure emotional intelligence have been identified. This review examines the foundations of the definitions of emotional intelligence as well as existing educational research involving emotional intelligence, both within the health professions and externally. Recommendations for future research and research potential are discussed.
“情商”的概念已在大众媒体和企业界广泛传播，因为人们声称情商具有预测各种成功指标的潜在能力。情商（EI）最常包含情绪表达与调节、自我意识和同理心等概念。该概念因定义模糊以及与人格特质相似而受到一些人的批评。此外，已发现用于测量情商的工具存在若干局限性。本综述考察了情商定义的基础以及健康专业领域内外涉及情商的现有教育研究。还讨论了对未来研究的建议和研究潜力。
