This article provides an overview of current research on emotional intelligence. Although it has been defined in many ways, we focus on the four-branch model by Mayer and Salovey (1997) , which characterizes emotional intelligence as a set of four related abilities: perceiving, using, understanding, and managing emotions. The theory provides a useful framework for studying individual differences in abilities related to processing emotional information. Despite measurement obstacles, the evidence in favor of emotional intelligence is accumulating. Emotional intelligence predicts success in important domains, among them personal and work relationships.

The present study is the first to examine relationships between alexithymia and trait emotional intelligence (trait EI or trait emotional self-efficacy) at the phenotypic, genetic, and environmental levels. The study was also conducted to resolve inconsistencies in previous twin studies that have provided estimates of the extent to which genetic and environmental factors contribute to individual differences in alexithymia. Participants were 216 monozygotic and 45 dizygotic same-sex twin pairs who completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20. In a pilot study, a sub-sample of 118 MZ and 27 DZ pairs also completed the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. Results demonstrated that a combination of genetic and non-shared environmental influences contribute to individual differences in alexithymia. As expected, alexithymia and trait EI were negatively correlated at the phenotypic level. Bivariate behavioral genetic analyses showed that that all but one of these correlations was primarily attributable to correlated genetic factors and secondarily to correlated non-shared environmental factors.

Abstract. The article presents the results of an empirical study of the ratio of emotional intelligence and adaptability. Theoretical and empirical study of the problem revealed that emotional intelligence, which ensures the success of interpersonal interaction, can be considered as one of the indicators of adaptability and is an important property that ensures the success of adaptation. Emotional intelligence indicators have been found to be closely related to adaptive indicators, and these properties reinforce each other. The empirical part of the study was to study the relationship between indicators of emotional intelligence and indicators of personality adaptability, to identify the specifics of emotional intelligence in people with different levels of adaptability. An empirical study using valid and reliable psychodiagnostic tools revealed that there are individual differences in the manifestations of emotional intelligence in people with different levels of adaptability. The aces and profiles method found that there are differences in the manifestations of emotional intelligence in groups of people with different levels of adaptability. It is empirically established that a group of people with a high level of adaptability is generally characterized by a high level of emotional intelligence, while a group of people with a low level of adaptability demonstrates a low level of emotional intelligence. The use of the method of ranking indicators made it possible to establish the most significant manifestations of emotional intelligence in relation to adaptability. In general, the results of the study indicate that the phenomena studied function in a single phenomenological space and mutually reinforce each other.
