Abstract
The changes taking place in our society actualize new types of relationships between people based on a humanistic, personalized approach. The transformation of human relations takes place in the process of establishing new values, so the formation of the emotional side of relations in the "person-person" system becomes particularly relevant. In Russian society, there is an increased need for qualified psychologists and their solution of current problems. The rapidly changing conditions of society formation actualize the problem that deals with the development of personal and professional qualities of psychology students, including their emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence allows to understand and feel the necessity for a rational analysis of one`s own emotions and decision-making based on this process, which means that a person can act more effectively. People with developed emotional intelligence achieve their goals more easily in interaction with others and become more efficient, productive and happy. Thus, the relevance of our research is determined both by the trends in the development of scientific knowledge and the existing needs of social practice.

Summary
Since the beginning of the twentieth century, foreign psychology has been searching for abilities that, unlike the traditionally distinguished general intelligence, are associated with the social and emotional sphere of the psyche. Leading experts in the field of psychology of intelligence, including social intelligence (Thorndyke E, Spearman Ch., Vexler D., Gilford J., Aysenk G.) and others have argued that people differ in their ability to understand other people and manage them, i.e. to act in a reasonable way in human relations [7]. In Russian Psychology the idea of affect and interest unity found its reflection in the works of Vygotsky L.S. On developing L.S. Vygotskiis ideas, Rubinshteyn S.L. has noted that thinking itself is already a unity of the emotional and rational [8].
