2.4. Factors affecting the emotional intelligence of investigators at the Department of Security and Investigation under the Ministry of Public Security

In theory, emotional intelligence is a component that creates personality. Therefore, the formation and development of an individual's emotional abilities is also influenced by factors such as genetics, personality, activities and education.


We believe that investigators' emotional intelligence does not come naturally and is influenced by the following factors:

2.4.1. Group of subjective factors

2.4.1.1. Physical factors of the investigator

Genetics does not directly determine the development of emotional intelligence. Genetic factors are the premise, material foundation, and necessary condition for the formation and development of emotional intelligence. If you have superior genetic characteristics about the nervous system, your brain will be favorable for future intellectual development. Superior genetic characteristics in the nervous system, brain, senses, etc. will have many advantages for future intellectual development and pose many different potentials before the subject. How to exploit those potentials depends on the subject and the subject's activities.

Research by scientists has shown that two parts of the brain, the amygdala and hippocampus, are not only the places where emotional responses are formed but also where emotional responses are stored. Therefore, physical factors will clearly affect the mental and emotional health of the individual.

With physical and mental factors developing harmoniously and comprehensively, individuals will actively participate in relationships that help intellectual abilities develop. If an individual does not have normal physical development or develops too quickly or too slowly, it will easily lead to guilt, shame, fatigue and emotional intelligence will also be affected.

Investigators are people who have been selected through a rigorous, physically demanding process. These are people who must ensure their weight, height and good health to be recruited into the force. Therefore, investigators must be people with good physical health to help ensure that the investigator's emotional intelligence is developed, even developed in a positive and comprehensive way. On the contrary, if physical conditions are not guaranteed, it will create difficulties for the investigator's emotional intelligence development.
