In my research, I aim to analyze the emotional intelligence of elephants by using an emotional intelligence pyramid developed by the National Institute of Health. This project is titled, "Can emotional intelligence be assessed in elephants?" In society and through research, elephants have been deemed as some of the most intelligent and socially complex animals, and this idea has been used to fight for animal rights. Elements of emotional intelligence have been used as evidence in legal cases regarding the writ of habeas corpus with the argument that these animals exemplify personhood. With this prompts the idea of how new advancements to prove emotional intelligence can be used in the future.
This is an image of Happy, the elephant. The Nonhuman Rights Project fought for her to get out of the Bronx Zoo by arguing that she exemplified personhood, so therefore the writ of habeas corpus should apply to her (Nonhuman Rights Project, n.d.).
This is the emotional intelligence pyramid by the National Institute of Health (Drigas, A., & Papoutsi, C. 2018).
This is another version of the emotional intelligence pyramid by the National Institute of Health that explains the metacognitive and cognitive processes behind each level (Drigas, A., & Papoutsi, C. 2018).
