Emotional Intelligence or Behaviorial Control? (part 1)

In this presentation, Daniel Goleman talks about shaping behavior by establishing a measurement system that enable the evaluation of people based upon their "Emotional Intelligence", or what he terms "Managing Emotions via 'Competence Modeling'", essentially linking the concept of 'competence' to a predetermined suite of behavioral responses.

I found this information valuable and informative. Can't agree with the programming theories on some of the reply's. I have a problem even finding a basis for the arguments. Explaining how something works is not programming, its education.

I will use it for good to understand the unconscious emotions I receive as a songwriter. Some will use it to kill without conscience. It's not a question of the tool, its a question of the wielder, and how this information is applied.

So there...

@Dominateus1 He's placing a positive societal value on suppressing the brain's naturally behavior, and he is doing this in order to achieve a specific agenda. People who want to be seen in that positive light by society will now try to behave in that way, contrary to nature. I'd call that programming.

@globalbeehive Yes, but you neglect to say whether or not it is good, or bad, programming. Could be either, eh?

Programming is a fact of life. The government wants to program me, my boss wants to program me, my girlfriend wants to program me, and my educator, they all want to program me.

Sometimes it's good, sometimes not. But programming is just a tool. It is neither good or bad, by itself. It depends on how the tool is used, as always.

Thanks for the reply.

@Norgard11n: He is trying to program his listeners to eliminate human emotion from their behavior, so that they can make so-called logical decision, no matter who they harm. Emotions keep humans empathetic, and therefore keep us from harming each other. He wants to eliminate the constraint, so humans will agree to turn on each other.

@burnyourcrutch sounds like a scientologist!

Found this video trying to understand why I nearly ran out on my Calculus instructor. If my gpa dropped by another 0.1 I wouldnt be able to get into my university. I tried arguing that I hadn't made a mistake on a test question, then he responded that he'd also missed other questions I'd made mistakes on, "so I'd be glad to remove more points from your exam. :D "

I was OUT OF THERE!!! I immediately started sweating, could only turn my back and grab my things to head for the door.

@burnyourcrutch: No, this guy is a pitch-man, a messenger boy for others. The message is designed to control behavior, and he so deftly strokes his ignorant audience while programming them with new behaviors. But I can assure you, while he worked on this technology, their are many others behind him who were instrumental in creating the techniques.
