Abstract

In today's realities, which are characterized primarily by conditions of uncertainty and the need for rapid adaptation to changes in the external environment, the issue of effective support of one's own emotional state and the development of emotional intelligence is extremely relevant. In the article, emotional intelligence is considered as a personal psychological resource that contributes to increasing the productivity of its activities by understanding and regulating one's own emotions and improving interaction with the social environment by understanding the emotions of other people and is a means of psychological resilience to the challenges of today (related primarily to war), which in turn allows you to effectively counteract them by regulating your own behavior. Accordingly, the purpose of the article is to theoretically study the influence of emotional intelligence on the psychological resilience of the individual in today's conditions. The most well-known and well-argued theories of emotional intelligence, scientific approaches to studying the phenomenon of emotional intelligence and its definition are analyzed. The components of emotional intelligence are considered, which are built into a hierarchy and are gradually absorbed by a person during development. Attention was focused on the importance of the simultaneous development of emotional, cognitive and personal characteristics in a person. It was found that the study of this phenomenon provides an opportunity to understand more deeply how the development of emotional intelligence will contribute to the psychological stability of the individual. It is confirmed that emotional intelligence can and should be developed. One of the factors confirming this position is the fact that the neural pathways of the brain continue to develop until the middle of human life. In this regard, emotional development, which is manifested in the conscious regulation of emotions, becomes possible. It is this approach to studying this phenomenon that gives us the opportunity to understand more deeply how the development of emotional intelligence will contribute to the psychological stability of the individual. It has been found that the development of emotional intelligence is extremely important for the individual, especially in war conditions, accordingly, this made it possible to draw conclusions that developed emotional intelligence increases the efficiency of using one's own resources, and accordingly contributes to the development of the psychological stability of the individual, and the preservation of his mental and physical health.
