Introduction
“In a very real sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that feels”
― Daniel Goleman
In order to adapt and survive in the environment, human beings have to tackle with their emotions. Emotions are central to the development of our morality. Our empathetic and altruistic behaviour is determined by the emotions we produce, and how they creatively process our minds. Emotions control the way human beings think and make sense about the world around them. Emotions provide individuals with a powerful driving force called motivation which can be either positive or negative and the experiences as a result of such emotions have a specific physiological pattern and activity (Schacter, 2011).
Rehfield (2002) stated that the social intelligence gave rise to the sole concept of emotional intelligence. One of the ways in which Emotional Intelligence is defined, indicates the combined factors in which a person has the ability to feel motivated about himself, experiences mood swings and regulations, can take over his impulses and has the ability to persist frustration level, hence cope up with everyday lifestyle (Goleman, 1995). According to the Emotional Intelligence Model (Salovey& Mayer, 1990), emotional intelligence is recognized as the ability of an individual to guide his or her own feelings,
