Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) has emerged as a significant concept in psychology, reflecting an individual's ability to understand, manage, and regulate emotions in themselves and others. This paper explores the theoretical foundations of emotional intelligence, highlighting its core components: self-awareness, emotion regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The psychological significance of EI is analyzed, emphasizing its role in personal development, interpersonal relationships, and professional success. The findings suggest that enhancing emotional intelligence contributes to overall well-being and adaptive behavior.
