Children’s lack of EQ education has become the bottleneck of high school education, that is, the excellent students are no longer excellent or even become underachievers after entering high school. Therefore, the transformation education of these “underachievers” has become the important tasks of the head teacher. Goal education and inspirational education are the core tasks throughout. Many students “are easier to aspire to than to persist”. In the transformation education of these underachieving students, the cultivation of EQ is particularly important. Based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, this paper classifies the underachievers according to the difference of psychological needs and makes an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of psychological needs of the underachievers in different levels of needs to seek for the reasons that influence and cause the deviation of emotional intelligence of the underachiever, and then carries out an empirical study on the incentive transformation strategy of the underachievers, which aims to explore the effective incentive mechanism of EQ training education for underachieving students.
