Abstract
This chapter examines the affective life of adults with ID, referring to their spiritual life, intimate life, emotional intelligence, psychological capital, and motivation. First, the chapter presents the dire lack of research and attention to affect and specifically to emotional intelligence (EI) in the field of ID, including in ID definitions and policy. Next, three models of EI are reviewed, which were designed for normative development, as well as related concepts. In presenting research studies related to affect, EI, spiritual life, singlehood, psychological capital, and motivation – a clear pattern emerged of similarity between the ID and typical groups. This chapter discusses the implications of these findings for the mediation of affect and policies for individuals with ID.

Beyond its examination of emotional components, the Lifshitz and Katz (2009) study also yielded behavioral and cognitive findings. The behavioral measure indicated that adolescents with ID fulfilled Jewish commandments to a greater degree than adults with ID. Regarding the study’s cognitive measure, adults revealed a higher understanding of cognitive religious concepts than the adolescents, suggesting greater cognitive maturity with age. Indeed, understanding of cognitive religious concepts was associated with mental age in adolescents but with chronological age in adults.
