A Study on Female Emotional Intelligence : Self-Management and Interpersonal Relationships

Abstract

The concept of emotional intelligence was proposed by American scholars Slovey and Mayer (1990). Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize and understand one's own and others' emotional states, and to use this information to solve problems and regulate behavior. American psychologist Daniel Goleman (1995) suggested that emotional intelligence, in a certain sense, is related to the ability to understand, control, and utilize emotions. He emphasized that possessing strong self-management and relationship management skills is more important than having exceptional intellect and professional expertise. This study aims to conduct an empirical analysis through quantitative methods with the following objectives: first, to explore the current status of female emotional intelligence, including the four dimensions: self-emotional awareness, selfemotional management, interpersonal interaction, and well-being; second, to examine the interrelationships among the four dimensions of emotional intelligence: self-emotional awareness, self-emotional management, interpersonal interaction, and well-being.
