INTERCULTURAL COROLLARIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PENTAGONAL MODEL OF SOCIO-EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Emotional intelligence is a success in scientific research around the world. This paradigm has resulted in the emergence of new constructs, relations with other variables, the rethinking of social intelligence, all of which being, in fact, intercultural points of reference. In this article we examine these aspects of complementary plans of the socio-emotional human personality, such as: using our own emotions, engaging the abilities of socio-emotional intelligence, knowing, experimenting, understanding, processing, and using the environment and our own psych ism for professional purposes. Following the analysis of these intercultural benchmarks, correlated with Goleman's, Bar-On's, and Albrecht's researches, we propose a generative model of socio-emotional intelligence from the point of view of a unitary intelligence.
