Peter Salovey, Jack Mayer, and Reuven Bar-On are some of the pre-eminent researchers in this field and Daniel Goleman’s book Emotional Intelligence published in 1995 really ignited the current interest in the subject.

When emotional intelligence first appeared to the masses in 1995, it served as the missing link in a peculiar finding: people with average IQs outperform those with the highest IQs 70% of the time.

Decades of research now point to emotional intelligence as the critical factor that sets star performers apart from the rest of the pack.

Why does emotional intelligence matter? Emotions are a large part of who you are. They affect whether you pay attention or are distracted, if you remember or forget. They influence whether you make good decisions or bad ones, stick with your choices or change your mind. How you feel also impacts your physical health and your ability to build and maintain relationships. We all need skills to recognize and understand our emotions, label and express them, and regulate them to achieve optimum well-being and success at home, school, and in the workplace.

– In this work, a retrospective analysis of the problem of the study of emotional intelligence has been carried out. Based on the review of sources, it is concluded that the interest in the emotional sphere of the person was already typical for the thinkers of antiquity, who at that time debated about the ratio of affective and rational in the person.

An analysis of the preconditions for the emergence of the term "emotional intelligence" and the reasons for its ra...

EI leads people to gain awareness by recognizing personal emotions and the emotions of others. This creates an emotional state of consciousness where people use the information skillfully and intelligently in deliberate, purposeful decision-making activities....
