Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a set of skills that dictate and determine one’s capability to properly assess and express emotional responses. It contains four major domains, which are social skill, empathy, self-management, and self-awareness. By promoting these skills, children can greatly improve their academic performance and reduce the level of anti-social behavior. It is important to justify the use of the concept of emotional intelligence because we are talking about the ability to recognize, understand, and evoke feelings and emotions, which can be attributed to intellectual activity. On the other hand, emotional responses are no less important for human adaptation than mental activity. Although the emotional and the rational have certain similarities, one can determine the differences between them by their manifestations in the character of an adult, in which the sensible and emotional assessment of the situation is often not just different, but contradictory. In addition, there is a gradual societal improvement of emotional intelligence within the public. On average, women are better than men in empathy and social skills, whereas men possess more self-confidence and distress resilience.
The interview video with a woman clearly shows that she is more in-tune with the human resource manager’s emotional state, and she is competent in evaluating the social skills needed for the process. In the case of the female interviewee, one can observe that she expresses the correct emotional state towards the interviewer, who is more reserved and calm. The interview video with a man also supports the differences between sexes, because the given individual expresses higher levels of self-confidence by stating that he is outstanding at math. In addition, the male interviewee is unnecessarily excited and emotionally elevated during the entire process of the conversation, which indicates a lower level of social skill and empathy.
