DPSY 564 - The Psychology of Emotions

3 Credit(s)

True emotional intelligence requires more than an intellectual grasp of the concept of emotional intelligence and of its importance to success in life. Being able to practice emotional intelligence is what really leads to success. This seminar focuses on how one pragmatically develops the ability to understand, evaluate, and improve the role that emotions play in our lives. Students are helped to recognize the most common human emotions as they occur in themselves and others, become cognizant of how emotions motivate behavior, and develop an ability to control emotions in ways that promote mental health.
