What are the types of social awareness?
Social-emotional learning theory is underpinned by the work of Daniel Goleman, who builds the idea of social and emotional intelligence (EQ) around several key social awareness components, including:
• Emotional self-awareness: Being emotionally aware is the skill behind understanding what one is feeling and appreciating how different moods can impact those around us.
• Self-regulation – is the art of controlling the response to emotions – anticipating outcomes to avoid being emotionally reactive in personal and social situations.
• Motivation – involves understanding how to use emotional factors to learn and achieve personal goals.
• Empathy – is the skill of considering the emotions and circumstances of other individuals.
• Respect – is best defined as having regard for another person or group’s experiences, emotions, wishes, or rights.
• Kindness – is the idea of being friendly and considerate to other people, and is especially important even if you don’t share their views or standpoints.
• Listening Actively – is the skill of truly being seen to listen – paying attention, and taking time to understand what is being said.
• Cooperation – is an important part of finding a resolution or a way of working with other individuals or groups. It often involves compromise – but helps to achieve shared goals.
