Social skill: Implication of Emotional Intelligence in Everyday Social Interaction by High School Students Perspective

Emocionalna inteligencija se sve češće spominje u kontekstu uspješnog ostvarivanja suradnje i društvenih odnosa. Iako se prije druge polovice dvadesetog stoljeća važnost pridavala jedino racionalnoj inteligenciji, danas je jasno da su ljudska bića puno više od homo sapiensa (čovjeka koji razmišlja). Prisutnost emocionalne inteligencije se očituje primjenjivanjem socijalnih vještina. Osobe koje ovladaju socijalnim vještinama, postižu veće uspjehe u društvu, privatnom i profesionalno životu.

Research has shown that high school students lack the skills of synchrony and self-indulgence, while more than 50% have skills of influence and caring
