    Abstract
    In this response to the critiques of Fontaine (2016) and Hughes and Evans (2016), we touch on main points of consensus and
    contention, and offer some suggestions for future programs of research.

    Keywords
    ability emotional intelligence, emotional regulation, componential emotion model

    Fontaine (2016) provides a reconceptualization of emotional


    intelligence (EI) according to a componential emotion approach.
    Such a commentary is exactly what we were hoping for in our
    proposal to unite emotion theory with EI. Fontaines model
    appears generalizable across cultures, subgroups, and specific
    contexts. Moreover, the model is eminently testable: Instruments
    can be developed to assess the identification, understanding,
    and management of action tendencies, bodily reactions,
    expressions, and how these relate to situational antecedents,
    appraisals, and feelings (p. XXX). If these instruments are
    developed, and show convincing validity evidence, our article
    would have served its intended purpose as a catalyst for theory
    development. Fontaines proposal represents an important
    direction for the field, which has come to accept the originally
    revolutionary 1997 MayerSalovey EI model as dogma.
    Hughes and Evans (2016) suggest that personality traits (such
    as trait EI) interact with EI to predict emotion regulation.
    Fontaines (2016) footnote succinctly summarizes this premise:
    Both EI and also other traits, such as personality, can affect
    actual [emotion] regulation (p. XXX). However, we find the
    term trait EI problematic. Both theory and empirical evidence
    show that trait EI instruments assess personality rather than intelligence (Roberts, Schulze, & MacCann, 2008), such that the
    term emotional intelligence can be misleading. Our contention is

    that traits such as optimism and empathy might be better integrated as facets of existing personality models rather than studied as separate phenomena.
    In this vein, future research might thus explore which elements of known personality models (e.g., the underlying facets
    of the Big Five, HEXACO, or the Dark Triad) are involved in
    emotion regulation, and how these interact with EI. Enacting
    any regulation strategies logically requires both knowing what
    to do (EI) and the will or tendency to actually do it (personality).
    As such, emotion knowledge and emotional tendencies should
    be studied in tandem.
