ABSTRACT
This study investigates historical
and cultural effects on one component of emotional intelligence, the ability to
recognize and report on one’s emotions. This study suggests a novel influence on
emotional intelligence, an individual’s historical context. Samples of young adults,
from Kyrgyzstan, former Soviet Republic in Central Asia, and the USA were assessed
using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) (Bagby, Parker, & Taylor, 1994) in 2002 and again in
2012, and in 2018. Significant historical cohort effect, significant interaction
effect, and gender effects were
found.
