Study 1 examines interpersonal skills training, Study 2 investigates relational and behavioural skills interventions, and Study 3 explores specific emotional intelligence interventions in order to determine their individual impact upon the emotional intelligence of individuals. Data collection for these three studies has recently been completed with the final results available for presentation at the conference.
