| Summary: | "This book offers a unique perspective on Emotional Intelligence (EI) research in Eastern Europe, analysing current trends in the research and application of EI in a region with a distinct socio-political history. Bringing together leading researchers from seven countries, chapters within this edited volume present original research that illustrates both the etic and emic aspects of emotions, to discuss how emotional intelligence research can address psychosocial challenges across different societies. Using a selection of cross-cultural frameworks for comparison, contributors to the volume make important developments to the field of EI research by instating a cultural and regional adaptation of EI theories. This includes considerations of EI from a collectivistic perspective, but also a destabilisation of the concept of emotional "intelligence" - initial research emerging in the USA and then Western Europe in the 1990s - which may show greater variability in what constitutes intelligent or adaptive behaviours across cultures.
