| Research Abstract |
Emotional Intelligence (EI) was regarded as a ability to process the emotion. The present study developed the Japanese version of Emotional Skills & Competence Questionnaire ; J-ESCQ), J-ESCQ for Junior high school and J-ESCQ for Senior high school students. The level of EI was assessed by J-ESCQ. EI determined the levels of loneliness and self-esteem as induce of adaptation. When the participants were asked to rate about a particular past episodes only, participants with a low EI recalled more of the targets associated with pleasant and unpleasant episodes than targets associated with neutral episodes, but those with a high EI recalled the three target types equally. However, in the situation that participants were asked to rate about both past and future episodes, for the targets related to future episodes, only participants with a high EI recalled more targets associated with pleasant and unpleasant episodes : participants with a low EI recalled the three target types equally. These results were interpreted as showing that the level of EI determined processing of targets associated with emotion in both type of episodes, past and future episodes, as retrieval cues. The above results indicated the importance of emotional encoding, so new type of elaboration, emotional elaboration was proposed. In some situation, emotional elaboration was more effective than the semantic elaboration in incidental recall.
