Abstract

Emotions play a significant role in shaping human existence, driving our actions and responses. Recently, there has been increased focus on emotional intelligence, which encompasses the ability to recognize, comprehend, and manage both our own emotions and those of others. Human life often presents challenges and stressors, and resilience, the capacity to effectively cope with such adversity, is crucial for navigating through them. By developing resilience, individuals can better handle difficult situations and bounce back swiftly. This study aims to gather insights from previous research worldwide, using the Scopus database, regarding the relationship between emotional intelligence and resilience. It offers a comprehensive analysis across various domains, highlighting how emotionally intelligent individuals tend to be more adaptable, open to new experiences, and adept at making sound decisions in challenging situations. Ultimately, exploring this relationship will help in future investigation in this field.
