As the basis of emotional intelligence, emotional awareness refers to the abilityto perceive and identify emotion. It plays an important role in individuals’ physicaland mental health and interpersonal aspects. In addition, it has gotten more andmore attention from scholars. However, according to current researches, there aresome deficiencies and limitations about emotional awareness.Most researches on theory of emotional awareness mainly elaborated from asingle perspective. Emotional awareness is rarely conducted in domestic researchand lack related measuring tool. The objects of researches are given priority tophysical and mental patients and thus research orientation is limited to clinicalorientation.Less researches on the neural basis of emotional awareness can be found.What is more, intervention methods of normal population emotional awareness lackpertinence.Therefore, Comprehensive perspective from ability and process to carry outeducational applications oriented basic research of emotional awareness hasimportant theoretical and practical value. The research can not only enrich thetheory of emotional awareness and emotional intelligence, but provide reference foremotional education practices.The research proposed two-lane ideas which means educational applicationsoriented basic research. When it refers to basic research, we mainly explore theconcept of emotional awareness from process oriented perspective and abilityoriented perspective and examine the relationship between the ability of emotionalawareness and emotional awareness process through empirical research to constructthe mode of formation and function of emotional awareness. From the perspective of educational applications, we take pre-service teachers who are urgent in need ofemotional awareness as the research objects.to examine theirs’ abilitycharacteristics of emotional awareness and emotional awareness of thecharacteristics of the process, Apart from that, we also put forward to targetedoptimization measures on the basis of mode of formation and function of emotionalawareness to enhance the ability of emotional awareness of.pre-service teachers.Around the above ideas, the paper mainly carried out empirical studies of thefollowing three parts. The first part of the empirical study examines thecharacteristics of emotional awareness ability of pre-service teachers includingrevised Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale and carried out survey of pre-serviceteachers and newly recruited teachers to understand the general characteristics anddifferences of the pre-service teachers’ ability of emotional awareness. The secondpart of the empirical research mainly explores the characteristics of the process ofpre-service teachers emotional awareness including take advantage of relatively hightemporal resolution ERP technology and eye movement technique to explore EEGand eye movement differences of pre-service teachers who have different ability ofemotional awareness in the process of emotional awareness to reveal thecharacteristics of emotional awareness. The third part of the empirical researchcarried out pre-service teachers’ emotional aware ability optimization.According to first two parts, the characteristics of the pre-service teachers’emotional awareness were derived and we design targeted optimization emotionalawareness and implement to enhance the ability of emotional awareness of theindividual who have inadequate emotional awareness.Through the empirical research, we obtained the following conclusions:Firstly, Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale has good reliability and validity andcan be used as an effective tool to measure the ability of the emotional awareness.Pre-service teachers emotional awareness ability is in general lie in low mediate leveland urgently need to upgrade. The ability of emotional awareness of the pre-serviceteachers has significant difference in gender, grade and professions. The results showthat women’s emotional awareness ability is superior to men’s. Secondly, emotional awareness ability rises substantially with grade rise. Theability of people of liberal arts emotional awareness is better than people of science.Emotional awareness ability of pre-service teachers has interaction in gender andprofessional. In-service teachers’ emotional awareness ability is higher than thepre-service teachers’.Thirdly, the correct rate of pre-service teachers who have high emotionalawareness ability is higher than pre-service teachers’ who have low emotionalawareness ability. But the reaction time of pre-service teachers who have highemotional awareness ability is shorter than pre-service teachers who have lowemotional awareness ability. In addition, amplitudes of high score group aresignificantly higher than the low score group’ in the four components of N100, P100,no. N170and LPP, while amplitudes of high score group were significantly lower thanthe low score group’ in the three components of VPP, P200and N250.In the earlystages (100-200ms) and late stage (300ms later), brain activation in the rear scalp offhigh score group is higher than the low score group’. In the medium term(200-300ms), brain activation in the frontal scalp of higher group high group is lowerthan that of the low score group.Fourthly, the number of total eye fixation point, monitoring frequency and, thediameter of the pupil of pre-service teachers who have high ability for emotionalawareness are higher than the low score group, but the saccadic time and saccadeamplitude of pre-service teachers who have high ability for emotional awareness isless than the low score group. Consistent with the mode of processing differentemotional faces, low score group concerned about the two interesting regions ofeyes and mouth at the same time. Inconsistent with the mode of processing differentemotional faces, high score group more concerned about the mouth in the perceivedfear faces.Finally, the emotional cognitive training and emotional experience training canbe effectively promoted pre-service teachers’ emotional awareness ability...
