Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) has been identified as an important factor in improving individuals' psychological well-being. This research examines how emotional intelligence affects psychological well-being in everyday life, focusing on emotion management, interpersonal relationships, and mental resilience. Emotional intelligence enables individuals to more effectively manage emotions, which further enhances their ability to deal with stress and strengthens healthy social relationships. Other factors such as social support, stress, life experiences, and personality also play an important role in this relationship. The study also found that individuals with high emotional intelligence are better able to deal with life's challenges and improve their well-being. However, emotional intelligence does not function in isolation from other factors that influence psychological well-being. It is important to assess how a combination of internal and external factors can contribute to an individual's well-being. Further research is needed to identify more effective ways of developing emotional intelligence in various social and cultural contexts to improve psychological well-being.
