[00:00.00]Furthermore,the social scientist said
[00:03.95]that it was possible to improve a person's EQ,
[00:07.60]particularly in terms of "people skills",
[00:09.89]such as understanding and communication.
[00:14.17]Professor Mayer,recognized by many
[00:16.24]as a leading expert in the study of changes
[00:19.18]to people's EQs,
[00:21.57]recently released the findings of a study
[00:23.63]on senior high school students.
[00:26.30]When some normal students
[00:27.80]were introduced to some disabled students,
[00:30.66]they found that afterwards
[00:31.77]they were more willing to help people
[00:33.73]in difficulties.
[00:36.01]They also showed a better understanding
[00:37.90]of the disabled students' feelings,
[00:40.51]compared to students
[00:41.37]who hadn't been introduced to disabled students
[00:45.60]At the same time,there was a marked change
[00:47.97]in the disabled students' attitudes.
[00:51.11]They became more positive
[00:52.40]about their disablities,
[00:54.28]and were more eager to try new things.
[00:58.06]People with high EQs
[00:59.52]often have positive attitudes towards life,
[01:02.54]and open minds to different ideas.
[01:05.80]Most social scientists agree
[01:07.43]that EQ is best observed in people,
[01:10.54]described as either pessimists or optimists.
[01:14.28]Optimists have high EQs
[01:16.20]and are untroubled by obstacles,
[01:18.75]while pessimistic,
[01:20.13]low-EQ people are worried about problems.
