The relationship of emotional intelligence of teachers with pedagogical effectiveness and personality traits
Psycho-emotional stress in the educational environment raises the issue of developing teachers' emotional competencies as a factor of successful professional realisation. The study aimed to identify the key factors and mechanisms of influence of emotional intelligence on the effectiveness of pedagogical activity to create a differentiated system for the development of teachers’ emotional competencies. An empirical study was conducted among 150 teachers in Kosovo (Pristina District) using a set of empirical methods and qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews. There was a statistically significant advantage of primary school teachers in terms of emotional intelligence (M = 138.7) over secondary school teachers (M = 131.2), with the greatest differences in the ability to perceive emotions (t = 3.45; p = 0.001) and manage the emotional states of others (t = 3.12; p = 0.002). Three typological profiles of emotional intelligence were identified: empathetic (31.4%), rational (42.9%) and mixed (25.7%). A non-linear relationship between the length of service and the level of emotional competence was found, with optimal indicators in the group of 10-20 years. The key predictors of emotional intelligence are openness to new experiences (β = 0.45), extraversion (β = 0.40), and conscientiousness (β = 0.30). The proposed model for the development of teachers’ emotional intelligence integrates evaluative, content, procedural, and performance-evaluation components that provide a systematic approach to the formation of teachers’ emotional competencies. Based on the model, a three-level programme with differentiated methods for teachers with different psychological profiles was developed. The introduction of this system in the professional training and in-service training of teachers increased psycho-emotional stability, optimised pedagogical interaction and improved the overall effectiveness of the educational process.

Does Smartphone Addiction, Social Media Addiction, and/or Internet Game Addiction Affect Adolescents’ Interpersonal Interactions?
The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlations that levels of addiction to smartphones, social media, and online games have with levels of real-life and online interpersonal interactions among adolescents. In this cross-sectional study of adolescents in a college in Taiwan, structured questionnaire surveys were used to collect information. The questionnaire included the following: demographic background, Real Interpersonal Interaction Scale (RIIS), Internet Interpersonal Interaction Scale (IIIS), Smartphone Application-Based Addiction Scale (SABAS), Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS), and Internet Gaming Disorder Scale—Short Form (IGDS9-SF). Multiple regression analyses were carried out to investigate the correlations between SABAS, BSMAS, IGDS9-SF, and RIIS/IIIS. We recruited 998 students (413 boys). The average age was 17.18 ± 1.46. The study results show that adolescents with higher levels of addiction to smartphones and social media may have greater interpersonal interaction with friends in real life, but adolescents with high levels of addiction to online games may have less interpersonal interactions with friends in real life. Adolescents with high levels of addiction to smartphones, social media, and online games may have greater interpersonal interactions with friends online.

The Liking Gap in Conversations: Do People Like Us More Than We Think?
Having conversations with new people is an important and rewarding part of social life. Yet conversations can also be intimidating and anxiety provoking, and this makes people wonder and worry about what their conversation partners really think of them. Are people accurate in their estimates? We found that following interactions, people systematically underestimated how much their conversation partners liked them and enjoyed their company, an illusion we call the liking gap. We observed the liking gap as strangers got acquainted in the laboratory, as first-year college students got to know their dorm mates, and as formerly unacquainted members of the general public got to know each other during a personal development workshop. The liking gap persisted in conversations of varying lengths and even lasted for several months, as college dorm mates developed new relationships. Our studies suggest that after people have conversations, they are liked more than they know.

How to know a person : the art of seeing others deeply and being deeply seen
If you are going to care for someone, you must first understand them. If you're going to hire, marry, or befriend someone, you have to be able to see them. If you are going to work closely with someone, you have to be able to make them feel recognized and valued. As David Brooks observes, 'The older I get, the more I come to the certainty that there is one skill at the center of any healthy family, company, classroom, community or nation: the ability to see each other, to know other people, to make them feel valued, heard and understood.' And yet we humans don't do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In 'How to Know a Person', Brooks sets out to help us to do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us.

Does Hugging Provide Stress-Buffering Social Support? A Study of Susceptibility to Upper Respiratory Infection and Illness
Perceived social support has been hypothesized to protect against the pathogenic effects of stress. How such protection might be conferred, however, is not well understood. Using a sample of 404 healthy adults, we examined the roles of perceived social support and received hugs in buffering against interpersonal stress-induced susceptibility to infectious disease. Perceived support was assessed by questionnaire, and daily interpersonal conflict and receipt of hugs were assessed by telephone interviews on 14 consecutive evenings. Subsequently, participants were exposed to a virus that causes a common cold and were monitored in quarantine to assess infection and illness signs. Perceived support protected against the rise in infection risk associated with increasing frequency of conflict. A similar stress-buffering effect emerged for hugging, which explained 32% of the attenuating effect of support. Among infected participants, greater perceived support and more-frequent hugs each predicted less-severe illness signs. These data suggest that hugging may effectively convey social support.
