The term of (EI) 1, however, was not formally defined until two articles were published in 1990. The first article definedEI as ¨the ability to monitor one´s own and others feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one´s thinking and actions¨ (Emotional Intelligence: Key Readings on the Mayer and Salovey Model.
