3. Cognitive appraisal the recognition that people realize their own emotions. Literally cognitive appraisal is to evaluate our cognitions. Concerning to emotional spin cycle, it is to recognize what emotions people have. When I relate this with self-enhancing behavior which is positive blue and acting out, we have choices either evaluate our emotions more positively or negatively. It is more desirable to evaluate positively on our emotions because it can lead self-enhancing behavior.

4. Cognitive scripts (schemas) the tendency to develop our emotions. As we evaluate our emotions, it would induce other emotions to rise. Some people have positive cognitive schemas for the emotions that once one positive emotions take place, other positive emotions come out. For example, if someone was happy to go to a concert that the person really wanted. Then the person might feel lucky to be there and suddenly he or she feels glad that his or her car is working all right. In the other hands, some one also can develop positive cognitive schemas for the one negative feelings so that she or he can forget that emotion and feel happy about other things. This cognitive scripts also work for the negative scenarios.

5. Behavioral routines tendencies that people react on the certain emotions. For example, some people cry if they feel sad or somepeople throw everything away and break everything if they are angry. These are typical behavioral routines. This is acting out part in the four options and the two bridges diagram so that people can do supportive and constructive behavior.

6. Emotion intelligence the ability to control emotions and act wisely. More specifically, emotionally intelligent people knows their emotions more precisely. That is in other words, they have better ability of cognitive appraisal. They not only evaluate their emotions accurately but also they find their emotions more quickly. Emotionally intelligent people have positive cognitive schemas so that they change their mood from the bad to the good. They also have more positive behavioral routines so that they don't hurt anyone if they get upset. Therefore we can say that emotional intelligence is not only cognitive intelligence but also behavioral too. In the cognitive parts of emotional intelligence include cognitive appraisal and cognitive schemas. In the behavioral part of the emotional intelligence includes behavioral routines.
