What can be done to improve the 'emotional intelligence' of university student?

• what can be done to improve the emotional intelligence of university student? any special programs/exercises that can be conducted by university authorisites? and how should students themselves respond to this? plz give some details... thanks

• Answer:

  Emotional intelligence cannot be learned at university any more than normal intelligence can be learnt there; emotional intelligence is acquired in stable, loving homes from ones parents or a parent during the growing up years. Unfortunately lack of emotional intelligence is a reliable pointer of psychopathy - such folk are reaction machines who don't feel normal human emotions but can mimic emotions perfectly in order to manipulate their marks
