Generally, emotional intelligence improves an individual's social effectiveness. The higher the emotional intelligence, the better the social relations. In a recent review, my colleagues and I described the emotionally intelligent person in these terms:
Overview of Measuring People´s experience in a wide variety of subjective experiences related to emotion and mood.
•Mood concerns an individual's long term emotional states.
•Meta-mood (also known as meta-experience or reflective experience of mood) concerns a person's thoughts and feelings about his or her mood(s).
•Emotional empathy refers to the understanding and responsiveness to another person's emotional experience.
PDI (Power Distance Index) - the PDI score relates to the degree of equality or inequality between people in a country's society. A high PDI score indicates that inequalities of power and wealth exist in a country where as in low scoring countries there is more social equality.
Individualism is one of the five intercultural dimensions developed by Hofstede.
