Summary/Abstract: Emotional intelligence refers to the abilities based on which a person may discriminate and monitor his/her own emotions and other’s emotions, as well as to his/her capacity to use the information held in order to guide his/her own thinking and action (Salovey & Mayer, 1990). Another definition, a more recent one, was given by Daniel Goleman (1995). According to him, the emotional intelligence represents a capacity of control and self-control over stress and negative emotions; a meta-ability, which determines and influences the manner and efficiency with which we can use the other capacities and abilities which we hold, including the educational intelligence.
