Annotation
This research explores the theoretical frameworks and practical applications of emotional intelligence (EI), emphasizing its role in individual and social functioning. Using the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso four-branch model, the study emphasizes the interrelationship between the perception, use, understanding, and management of emotions. The results confirm the validity of the four-factor model of EI and show that individuals in leadership roles exhibit higher EI scores, especially in emotion management and empathy. In addition, research highlights the effectiveness of social-emotional learning (SEL) programs in enhancing emotional and social skills in educational settings. Despite these advances, limitations such as reliance on self-report measures and cultural differences in emotional expression suggest a need for more objective methodologies and cross-cultural research. These insights strengthen the transformative potential of EI in personal and professional domains, paving the way for targeted interventions to develop emotional skills.
