There are a lot of different ways to define emotional intelligence, as well as the specific elements that

should be included in it. The "four branch model," which was developed in 1997 by John Mayer and
Peter Salovey, is the most fundamental emotional intelligence model. The four-branch model includes
the following key ideas: According to Mayer & Salovey (1997), "emotional intelligence is the ability to
perceive emotions, to access and generate emotions in order to assist thought, to understand emotions
and emotional meanings, and to reflectively regulate emotions in order to promote both better emotion
and thought." According to John Mayer, Peter Caruso, and Peter Salovey, "emotional intelligence refers
to an ability to recognize the meanings of emotion and their relationships, and to reason and problem-
solve on the basis of them," this is the scientific definition of emotional intelligence. According to Mayer,
Caruso, & Salovey (2000), "emotional intelligence" refers to a person's capacity to "perceive emotions,"
"assimilate feelings that are related to emotions," "understand the information of those emotions," and
"manage them."

"The capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves and for
managing emotion well in ourselves and in our relationships" is how Daniel Goleman defines emotional
intelligence (Goleman, 2000). Goleman goes on to say that there are two core competencies that make
up emotional intelligence. Personal and social competence are two examples of these competencies.
Self-awareness, which is defined as being aware of one's feelings, is one aspect of personal competence.
and self-management, also known as taking charge of your emotions or dealing with them after
becoming aware of them. Social competition in the middle of a piece of paper.
