Abstract

The article considered correlation of rational and intuitive thinking styles (S. Epstein’s inquirer) with the characteristics of emotional intelligence (D. Lusin’s inquirer). An empirical research was carried out. It was based on a sample of the holding structural divisions heads (N = 217) studying a course of business education. Two hypotheses were tested: 1) rational thinking style allows to handle emotions as data and therefore positively associated with both indicators of understanding emotions, and with indicators of management of emotions; 2) intuitive thinking style differentiates less between the rational data and emotional evaluation, and therefore it is less connected with understanding emotions indicators and even lesser — with the ability to manage them. Both hypotheses were confirmed. Refs 18. Figs 2. Table 1.
