A developing body of emotional intelligence research in health care disciplines has demonstrated similar findings. The presenter will review the findings of current emotional intelligence research across health care disciplines, report the findings of three pilot research studies carried out in the past 3 years that were designed to evaluate the impact of programs designed to improve the emotional intelligence skills of health care providers, discuss the implications of emotional intelligence on interdisciplinary care, patient safety and change processes related to health care reform.

Baggage Check Have you ever thought about the old adage of "carrying baggage"? Well to be effective, leaders must inventory that baggage and check it at the door. Without attention to Emotional Intelligence, that baggage becomes the barrier to success. Join this presentation to explore avenues to check your own baggage and explore resistances to becoming fully self-aware and effective. Participants learn the activities used by Dr. Beavers in the university classroom to explore resistances to self-awareness. Douglas Flore, Ph.D.
Infusing EI Into The Experience of First-year College Students
Like many colleges and universities, Virginia State University is working to increase the retention of first-year college students. A for credit course is being replaced with a model that provides students with an understanding of who they are as individuals, what their strengths are, and how to capitalize on those strengths to navigate their way through the college years. Emotional Intelligence skill awareness is an integral part of designing a system that can support freshmen, strengthen their self-awareness, and ultimately improve college retention.

TAMUK Doctoral Graduates Publish with Dr. Nelson in the Journal of Managerial Psychology
Adapted from the journal's website review of the article.
Based on Dr. Tang's dissertation research, the new journal article explores the relationship between the emotional intelligence (EI) and transformational leadership practices of academic leaders in both Taiwan and the USA. It aims to investigate whether cross-cultural differences exist in academic leaders' EI, leadership practices, and the relationship between them.
The study employs a casual-comparative approach to draw cross-cultural comparisons. Convenience samples of 50 academic leaders in Taiwan and 50 in the USA were selected as two comparison sample groups. Two instruments were selected to measure emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness.
Results of the correlational analyses indicate that Taiwanese participants' overall EI was found to be positively correlated in a statistically significant manner with all five areas of leadership practice. The U.S. Participants were found to have statistically significant positive relationships between overall emotional intelligence and all areas of leadership practice, except Challenging The Process and Inspiring a Shared Vision. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) results reveal that significant difference exist in distinct areas of EI and distinct areas of leadership practice as a function of cultural difference.
The study has significance in three aspects. First, it investigates a less understood and explored issue: the cross-cultural differences in the relationship between EI and leadership practices. Second, findings of the study make contributions to the body of research in a number of related disciplines, such as leadership effectiveness, emotional intelligence, cross-cultural research on leadership, and cross-cultural studies of emotional intelligence. Third, the results of the study bring significant insights into the field of cross-cultural leadership development in the academic context.
Congratulations to Drs. Hui-Wen (Vivian) Tang, Mu-Shang (Max) Yin, and Darwin Nelson on their new and significant publication! Review the abstract and retrieve the article on the journal's website at http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=1895924&show=abstract or contact the primary author, Vivian Tang, at kshvt00@hotmail.com.
