The results of studies of its connection with prosocial and deviant behavior are analyzed. The mediators of this connection are given. Directions are offered for further study of emotional intelligence in the context of its connection with aggression and manipulation in interaction with others. Attention is drawn to the gender characteristics of emotional intelligence in behavior. Attention is paid to the development of emotional intelligence.
