The Status Quo,Characteristics and Trends of Emotional Intelligence Research in the Past 22 Years

The purpose of the present study was to systematically analyze 2712 published articles, including 1582 articles from international articles and 1130 domestic articles. All of them were associated with emotional intelligence theory, since the theory was put forward 22 years ago. The literatures were chosen from two international psychology literature databases, which were PsycARTICLES, and PsycINFO, as well as three Chinese academic literature databases, including Chinese Journal Full-text Database(CJFD), Chinese doctoral dissertations full-text database, and Chinese selected master dissertations full-text database. Three questions were answered by documentary research method. Firstly, the present study carried out comparisons in terms of the regional distribution, the temporal distribution, as well as the field distribution. And the comparisons were conducted on the basis of the international and domestic emotional intelligence research literatures, respectively. As for the regional distribution, American researchers published the most literatures (except for Chinese researchers), while European researchers published the second most, then came Asian researchers, Australian researchers, and African researchers. The temporal distribution of emotional intelligence showed a three-stage feature: starting stage, flourishing stage, and deepening stage. Emotional intelligence research almost covered all areas in the field of psychology. There were apparently more literatures in the field of application research than in the fundamental research. Most literatures were focused on the fields of management, education as well as clinic. Secondly, this study demonstrated the developmental characteristics of emotional intelligence research in theoretical, empirical, and application fields. Obvious disagreement in theoretical perspectives, abuse of theoretical concept and scientific study of theoretical research were three features of emotional intelligence research in theoretical field. For the feature of the development of measurement, it seems that there were many instruments developed by different researchers, and lots of controversies were put forward towards these tools as well. The experimental research methods of emotional intelligence were just starting and needed to be deepened. The developmental characteristics of emotional intelligence research in application field contained two aspects, including fast spread with wide sensationalization in early days, and then discarding the false and retaining the truth with scientific application. Finally, the present study analyzed the trends of emotional intelligence research, pointing out that theoretical connotation researches and theoretical confirmation researches would be the top priority in the theoretical development of emotional intelligence theory. With regard to the empirical research, neuroscience, as well as the brain and cognitive sciences would possess obvious scientific value and sustainable development prospects.
