Inteligencia Emocional: una Revisión de la literatura científica.

Abstract

There are different theoretical models of emotional intelligence (EI), which explains why the veracity of EI can be debated and how. Some theorists stand out, such as Mayer and Salovey, who believe that scientific concepts are specific and restrictive, and once they cease to be so, they become unscientific disclosures. Skill models emphasize the importance of EI cognitive processing, while others advocate a broad EI model integrating it into all aspects of academic intelligence that are not considered, such as impulse control or self-motivation. Others consider EI as a personality trait necessary to adapt to the environment and have a successful life. Experts in the field use the skill, trait, or hybrid approach, which are considered different approaches to the same topic. This led them to adopt different EI structures, because the use of different models led to conflicting scientific research results. Advances in neuroscience have made it possible to verify the existence of EI, understood as a set of skills other than cognitive ability. The conclusion obtained after conducting this review is that there are differences between the authors' concepts of EI.
