Summary
Emotional intelligence is widely defined as the capacity to understand and control emotions (Kemp et al, 2005). Attractive aspects of emotional intelligence and their impact have attracted psychologists and physicians’ attention, and public attention. The concept of social intelligence was first used in the 1940s. Gardner’s “Multiple Intelligences” theory played a major role in the formation of emotional intelligence theory. According to Gardner’s “Multiple Intelligences” theory, there are two main types of intelligence: (1) Inner awareness and intelligence which helps to identify and differentiate people’s complex emotions, and (2) knowledge and awareness of interpersonal relationships which helps to identify and distinguish the emotions and motivations of others. Daniel Goleman in his bestselling book “Emotional Intelligence” widely described this concept is and informed the public (Goleman, 1995)
