Marc A. Brackett is a research psychologist and the Founding Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and Professor in the Child Study Center at Yale University.

Biography

[edit]

Brackett earned his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of New Hampshire in 2003, where he was supervised by emotional intelligence scholar John D. Mayer.[1] He was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University with Mayer's collaborator, Peter Salovey.[2] In an effort to decrease and prevent online bullying, Brackett, himself bullied in school, works with Facebook on large-scale research project to help other teens being bullied on the social platform.[3][4]

Early life

[edit]

Brackett grew up in Northern New Jersey. His father was an air-conditioning salesman.[5] Brackett was bulimic as a child and suffered sexual abuse as a child by a neighbor and as a result felt socially isolated.[6] He earned his undergraduate degree at Rutgers University. Shortly before he was scheduled to take the GREs, his mother died.

Academic career

[edit]

Brackett's research focuses on the role of emotional intelligence in learning, decision making, relationship quality, and mental health; the measurement of emotional intelligence; best practices for bringing emotional intelligence into schools and organizations; and the influences of emotional intelligence training on student and educator effectiveness, bullying prevention, and school climate.[7]

He is the author, co-author, and editor of over 125 scholarly publications and the developer of two university courses on emotional intelligence.[8][9] His most recent book is Permission to Feel: Unlocking the Power of Emotions to Help Our Kids, Ourselves, and Our Society Thrive.

RULER

[edit]

Brackett is the lead developer of RULER, an evidence-based approach to social emotional learning that has been approved by CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning).[10] The acronym RULER refers to the five key emotion skills of Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing, and Regulating emotions. RULER intends to increase personal wellbeing, effective teaching and leadership, academic achievement, and classroom emotional climate change.[11][12] An essential aspect of RULER is that it involves training for educational leaders, teachers, support staff, students and families. To date, RULER has been adopted by over 3,500 schools across the globe, reaching over 1,000,000 students.[7]
