Emotional intelligence: how to learn to understand your own and others' emotions

Emotional intelligence is a kind of foundation of the personality pyramid. The larger the volume of this pyramid, the more opportunities and influence a person can have on its own life, the lives of other people and on the world as a whole. All four profiles are equally promising. To build an effective life strategy, you need to understand your strong drivers and pay attention to the weak ones. In conjunction with the IQ vector of intelligence, emotional intelligence forms the life strategy of the "Creators". It helps to realize a person's potential and reach the top level of self-realization. The purpose is to substantiate the question of how to develop emotional intelligence. Emotional reactions affect cognitive processes and thinking, because by adapting and tuning to optimal waves, information is better perceived by a person. The authors used different methods: the ontological principle of genetically meaningful logic, a method of transforming concrete images of objects based on their abstract essence. To stimulate thinking, it is necessary to understand emotions well. The results of our study indicate the effectiveness of the implementation of these techniques and exercises for the development of emotional intelligence in high school students (that is, my peers). Thus, the analysis of theoretical sources and our own research has shown that the development of emotional intelligence requires the gradual formation of cognitive, affective and behavioral components of emotional intelligence through the integrated application of active methods for the development of emotional intelligence in high school students.
