According to Salovey & Meyer (1993), emotional intelligence is referred to as “The ability of man to monitor his own and others' emotions, to distinguish them and to use this information to guide his thoughts and actions “. Responding to Gartner's theory, they refer to interpersonal intelligence and explain that the main mission is to respond to one's emotional life, to try to discern and manage emotions when they are born, to try to categorize and attribute them. these ultimately guide his perception and behavior. They propose a model for managing emotional intelligence which is described through the adoption of the following stages: (I) Recognition and awareness of emotions: Recognizing the emotion at the moment it is created, is an essential energy and subsequent identification and management leads to psychological insight and self-awareness. The inability of the individual to recognize and understand his emotions puts him under their control with consequences such as creating insecurity and indecision.
