Emotional and Social Intelligence

This line of research focuses on the study of emotional and social intelligence, testing how these forms of intelligence influence personal and professional success, well-being, and interpersonal relations. Essential skills include astuteness in recognizing, understanding, and managing emotions, as well as navigating social complexities. Our research seeks to validate tools and design interventions to strengthen these emotional and social skills, promoting more effective interpersonal interactions and communication.
