Re: The correlation between IQ and corruption
the 'longer time horizon' thing is i think the same as the 'marshmallow test'
but i think that has been partially debunked now, and trust is a deciding factor, not just foresight/willpower, etc
i'm often astounded at how little trust cambodians actually have for each other
even though they can be friendly and very generous at the same time

I totally agree EQ is far more importantJerry Atrick wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 10:52 pm All this talk about IQ, and not a whisper about EQ, which is arguably more important
Re: The correlation between IQ and corruption
You are correct. The initial study, developed back in the 60's, was re-examined and the findings published in the 90's.Phnom Poon wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 11:03 pm the 'longer time horizon' thing is i think the same as the 'marshmallow test'

Ultimately, the new study finds limited support for the idea that being able to delay gratification leads to better outcomes. Instead, it suggests that the capacity to hold out for a second marshmallow is shaped in large part by a child’s social and economic background—and, in turn, that that background, not the ability to delay gratification, is what’s behind kids’ long-term success.
This is taken from an article in The Atlantic from 2018
"Why Rich Kids Are So Good at the Marshmallow Test"
https://www.theatlantic.com/family/arch ... st/561779/
The last part of the article is relevant given peoples comments with regards how lower income Cambodians are more focused on the short term than the long term.
The Harvard economist Sendhil Mullainathan and the Princeton behavioral scientist Eldar Shafir wrote a book in 2013, Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much, that detailed how poverty can lead people to opt for short-term rather than long-term rewards; the state of not having enough can change the way people think about what’s available now. In other words, a second marshmallow seems irrelevant when a child has reason to believe that the first one might vanish.

EQ? Here's a whisper...
Worrying about people emotions is what is turning the west into a pathetic bunch of cry babies, complaining about being scared of everything, being offended by everything - often by proxy by the activists - demanding the right to feel 'safe' (impossible if you're a spineless coward) and the so called mental health crisis.
I listen to British radio and I honestly think so many of my fellow citizens are utterly pathetic and pandered to by the presenters.

Yep . More time wasted by media listening to minorities than reporting the real world. China doesnt give a fuck about their PM not attending a rally !!!! Our media shoot him because he stays away.

Re: The correlation between IQ and corruption
Let's put EQ into perspective in the case of Cambodia. If a lot of the blokes here had higher EQs (ie. ability to manage their emotions), they'd be less prone to substance abuse, and less likely to commit revenge killings, burning of houses, random beheadings of babies etc etc. Emotional education is vital, and very much worth worrying about, pulling your hair out over sometimes tbh. The old "man up" attitude is reactionary.Doc67 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 6:56 am

Re: The correlation between IQ and corruption
You mean like Australia? Where I think we can agree that people have much better control of their emotions than 100 years ago.siliconlife wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 8:23 amLet's put EQ into perspective in the case of Cambodia.

But, it seems negative trends in psychosocial behavior, such as drug use and suicide, have increased substantially along with higher EQs
According to a report into "SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF DRUG USE" by the University of New South Wales in 2004 noted that:
suicide rates among 15-24 year olds have increased from 6 per 100,000 in 1921-25 to 16 per 100,000 in 1996-98
Re: The correlation between IQ and corruption
Those extra 10 per 100,000 is negligible and anyway, wars and disease got plenty more of them back then.IraHayes wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 9:58 amYou mean like Australia?

These days their biggest fear is Facebook defriending or being at the wrong end of a Twitter storm.

This video does a good job of explaining why young people are so afraid of being defriended or being at the centre of a twitter storm.Doc67 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 10:09 amThose extra 10 per 100,000 is negligible and anyway, wars and disease got plenty more of them back then.IraHayes wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 9:58 amYou mean like Australia?

Re: The correlation between IQ and corruption
But that comment has little to do with emotional intelligence, you are focused on worrying about emotions rather than utilising them for the best outcomes :Doc67 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 6:56 amKuroneko wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 11:06 pmI totally agree EQ is far more importantJerry Atrick wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 10:52 pm All this talk about IQ, and not a whisper about EQ, which is arguably more important

Emotional Intelligence in Leadership
Emotional intelligence or EI is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, and those of the people around you. People with a high degree of emotional intelligence know what they're feeling, what their emotions mean, and how these emotions can affect other people.
For leaders, having emotional intelligence is essential for success. After all, who is more likely to succeed – a leader who shouts at his team when he's under stress, or a leader who stays in control, and calmly assesses the situation?
According to Daniel Goleman , an American psychologist who helped to popularize emotional intelligence, there are five key elements to it:
Self-awareness.
Self-regulation.
Motivation.
Empathy.
Social skills.
The more that you, as a leader, manage each of these areas, the higher your emotional intelligence. https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_45.htm
