Peer Evaluations Influence Self-Assessment of Emotional Intelligence
Abstract
Emotional intelligence is an important leadership skill; research has demonstrated that emotional intelligence is related to leadership effectiveness (Koh and O'Higgins, 2018). The current research examined how receiving peer feedback on emotional intelligence influenced ones self-assessment of emotional intelligence in a junior leadership course. The findings suggest that individuals who received peer feedback on their emotional intelligence changed their self-assessment less over time compared to individuals who did not receive peer feedback. However, when the individuals who received peer feedback did change their self-assessment, they were likely to change their self-assessment to be more in line with how their peers assessed them. Peer assessments of emotional intelligence were also examined as a predictor of course outcomes and, though peer assessments and course outcomes were significantly correlated, emotional intelligence did not predict course outcomes beyond traditional peer assessments.
