An interview by with Peter Salovey by Lea Brovedani
Peter Salovey
Research carried out by Peter Salovey and his Health, Emotion, and Behavior Laboratory relates to two main areas in personality psychology. First, the psychological function of human emotions and secondly to the ways of applying the research in personality psychology to the promotion of health protective behaviors.
Salovey's research pinpoints the psychological function of people's emotions and feelings. He investigates the application of social psychological principles that are the motivators of individuals to change behavior that protects their wellbeing.
Together with his research partner, John D. Mayer, Salovey created a framework, named "emotional intelligence". This framework was used to term how people manage, utilize and know about their feelings and emotions.
John Mayer and David Caruso, together with Salovey created measures of EI. There measurement was done with a series of abilities tests. The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test or (MSCEIT) was first available in 2002. His work today looks at the predictive validity of EI in workplaces, schools, and social relationships.
Salovey’s research into health behavior offers field experiments that analyzed how educational/public health communications can be better customized to enhance prevention and early detection. The main behaviors he is studying are related to cancer and HIV/AIDS victims.
The research in this area has moved forward by leaps and bounds and continues to provide us with useful and practical tools to help develop this area of wellbeing in our everyday lives. The experts and leaders in this field are an inspiration to us all!
