Sure. I think, you know, at the simplest level, it's how we reason with and about our emotions and feelings. That's like the simple definition. The way I talk about it is as a set of skills. And we use the acronym RULER to describe those skills. The first is recognizing emotions. So I'm trying to read your facial expression right now. Are you interested? Are you bored already?

I'm trying to understand emotions, where they're coming from. Like, why am I feeling this way? What's the consequence of that feeling? The third is labeling emotions, so being precise with the words that we use to describe our feelings. The fourth is expressing emotions, knowing how and when to express emotions with different people across context and culture.

if you were to take a test from like 20 years ago yes we try to be a little bit more innovative now in our measurement of the skills so for example i just finished with a bunch of colleagues publishing a test of emotion perception but it's not static images it's video clips that are around three to four seconds that show subtle emotions it's about vocal tone it's about body language and we're trying to get people to

So the whole set of skills are intra and interpersonal. That's really important. It's about self and others always. for example, right now we are co-regulating each other's emotions, right? Our facial expressions, our vocal tones, we're influencing how we each other, how we feel. When you think about the recognition piece, we'll just start there, right?

There's self-awareness like, Mark, how are you feeling right now? And I'm, you know, I'm having mixed emotions, right? This is, a great podcast. I want to be articulate. I'm excited, but I'm a little overwhelmed because I got so much I want to share, but I don't know how much I'm going to share. So there's all that awareness of my emotion. Sometimes I have language for it.
