Abstract
Bullying is a serious problem among adolescents with broad negative impacts on psychological and social well-being. Factors that influence bullying are individual and environmental. Emotional intelligence has been identified as an essential factor influencing bullying behavior, but its relationship is not fully understood. This research aims to conduct a scoping review of the relationship between emotional intelligence and adolescent bullying behavior. A scoping review approach was used in this research. Search for articles using three databases (Scopus, PubMed, and CINAHL) and the search engine, namely Google Scholar. Keywords used included "emotional intelligence", "bullying", and "adolescents". Data analysis was carried out using a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of this study showed that 7 articles met the inclusion criteria that discussed the relationship between emotional intelligence and bullying in adolescents. The 7 articles show a negative relationship between emotional intelligence and bullying behavior, where individuals with low emotional intelligence tend to be more involved in bullying behavior. Variables influencing this relationship include emotional awareness, management, and understanding other people's emotions. The involvement of emotional intelligence plays a vital role in understanding and overcoming the phenomenon of bullying in adolescents.
