Summary
Over the past years there has been an increasing interest in and awareness towards emotional intelligence, which is regarded as one of intelligence types. Individuals’ realizing these roles in a successful manner affects each aspect of their lives. It is a fact that classical intelligence approaches fail to realize these roles in a successful manner and it has been an accepted reality that it is individuals’ emotional intelligence that optimizes these roles (Dökmen, 2004). Emotional intelligence is having emotions and understanding what they mean This is bilateral; on the one hand there is mind that tries to understand emotions; on the other hand, there are feelings and emotions that take individuals to mental processes and produce creative thoughts (Epstein, 1999). Erik Erikson defines emotional intelligence as a skill to integrate one’s various dimensions in successful way -in other words, as the integrity of self-identity (James, 1997; Ural, 2001)
