Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper, tries to explain the role of one‘s gender in his/her emotional intelligence and competencies. Emotional Intelligence is about understanding one‘s own and other people‘s emotions along with managing them. It helps him/her inguiding emotions to work along with other abilities in order to fulfill one‘s goals rather than working against it. In our daily life, we can see that though men and women act same in trivial situations but follow entirely different emotional paths while dealing with day-to-day tasks. Several studies have been conducted regarding the differences in emotional intelligence of men and women and it has been found that, though conclusively one is not better than the other, there are emotional competencies where one has edge over the other. While men are more confident when working alone and are more capable to deal with stress, women are capable of feeling and expressing more complex set of emotions and are more social and can make connections easily. Various scientific studies have been done to give biological clues explaining differences of these emotional responses from men and women but at the same time, it has been found that our social and economic environment also affects why we reacts emotionally in a certain ways.
