Course Description: Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to perceive and understand one’s own and others’ emotions and to use this information to guide decision-making. EI is a critical factor that helps explain considerable variance in mental health, academic performance, and success in the workplace. A potential harmful trait of people with high EI is their ability to manipulate others’ emotions for non-prosocial purposes. This study examined the existing literature on theory of mind, social functional accounts, empathy, and EI to investigate the inconclusive findings of the relationship between EI and emotional manipulation. Implications from the study include identifying individuals who obtain both high EI ability and conditional factors (e.g., low moral identity, high self-serving motives, and dark personalities) that are useful to mitigate manipulative behaviors at the workplace.Â
