Excerpt from the Book
Introduction
The emotions are a mood that is characterized by an organic commotion, product of an external situation, and that can be translated in gestures, laughter or weeping. Goleman (1995), indicates that the etymology of the word emotion is “motere”, the verb in Latin that means to move. On the other hand, Palmer (2003), denunciation that these are not simply something that we felt; but they are a source of intelligence. For example, the fatigue feeling informs about the levels into energy or fatigue to us. Also, when we felt cold communicates to us on the temperature of the atmosphere and when we felt that somebody is pleasant or of confidence the emotion is communicating us about the level of friendship or affinity towards that person. Therefore, we took into account the emotions and must have precaution the information that we transmitted. Also, we reasoned about the emotional consequences of our actions and about our emotional state.
All the emotions are, in essence, impulses to act. For Freytes (2004), it is what causes that we approach or we move away to a certain person or circumstance. We induce this way, because using the emotions it helps to understand our position, the relation with the world and to respond of adaptive form. Palmer (2003) reveals that this notion is the fundamental reason of a vision that considers to the emotions like motives forces that adapt in an approach of cognition activities and by consequence it is the impetus for the development of construct of emotional intelligence.
