- ABSTRACT Even though scientific psychological research about risks has focused in cogntive factors during the last years, recent studies start to consider emotional factors in the asessment process and risk experimentation, identifying the affective nature of judgements about risks. The contributions of the psychometric perspective (Fischhoff, Slovic, Lichtenstein, Read y Combs, 1978; Slovic, 1992) allowed advances in understanding how people perceive risks, demonstrating the qualitative aspects taking part in this perception, such as beliefs, values and opinions. People do not only judge a risk considering their thoughts but also their feelings. The objective of present study is to show assessment of risk perception and its relation with Emotional Intelligence Trait in a sample of students from Psychology, Geography and Environmental Science careers. Results obtained allow us to compare Emotional Intelligence level in each group of participants and to identify significative differences among them (F (2)=30,56, p < 0,001). Psychology students show higher Emotional Intelligence Trait level (M=83,62; SD=6,9) comparing with Geography (M=76,47; SD=11,3) and Environmental (M=77,9; SD=9,7). Groups differ in risk perception dimensions evaluated regarding Emotional Intelligence Trait level.
RESUMEN
Si bien en los últimos años los estudios científicos psicológicos sobre los riesgos se focalizaron fundamentalmente en los factores
cognitivos, estudios más actuales incorporan los factores emocionales en el proceso de evaluación y experimentación de los riesgos, reconociendo el carácter afectivo de los juicios sobre el riesgo.
Los aportes del enfoque psicométrico (Slovic, 1992) permitieron
avanzar en la comprensión de la percepción de los riesgos, demostrando que entran en juego una serie de atributos cualitativos como
creencias, valores y opiniones. Las personas no solo juzgan un
riesgo por lo que piensan sobre él, sino también por lo que sienten.
El objetivo es evaluar la percepción de los riesgos y su relación con
los rasgos de la Inteligencia Emocional en una muestra de estudiantes correspondiente a Psicología, Geografía y Ciencias Ambientales. Los resultados obtenidos permiten comparar el nivel de
Inteligencia Emocional entre estudiantes de distintas carreras de
grado (Psicología, Geografía, Ciencias Ambientales),e identificar
diferencias significativas entre los grupos. Se observa que el grupo
de estudiantes de Psicología presenta puntuaciones más elevadas
en Inteligencia Emocional Rasgo, respecto del grupo de Geografía
y de Ambiental. Los grupos difieren en el riesgo en sus diferentes
dimensiones en relación con los rasgos de Inteligencia Emocional.
ABSTRACT
Even though scientific psychological research about risks has focused in cogntive factors during the last years, recent studies start
to consider emotional factors in the asessment process and risk
experimentation, identifying the affective nature of judgements
about risks. The contributions of the psychometric perspective (Fischhoff, Slovic, Lichtenstein, Read y Combs, 1978; Slovic, 1992) allowed advances in understanding how people perceive risks, demonstrating the qualitative aspects taking part in this perception, such
as beliefs, values and opinions. People do not only judge a risk
considering their thoughts but also their feelings. The objective of
present study is to show assessment of risk perception and its relation with Emotional Intelligence Trait in a sample of students from
Psychology, Geography and Environmental Science careers. Results obtained allow us to compare Emotional Intelligence level in
each group of participants and to identify significative differences
among them (F (2)=30,56, p < 0,001). Psychology students show
higher Emotional Intelligence Trait level (M=83,62; SD=6,9) comparing with Geography (M=76,47; SD=11,3) and Environmental
(M=77,9; SD=9,7). Groups differ in risk perception dimensions evaluated regarding Emotional Intelligence Trait level.
