FEATURES OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN LIVING IN THE CITY CENTRE AND ON ITS OUTSKIRTS

The article is devoted to the study of the features of emotional intelligence of primary school children living in the central part of the city and on its outskirts. The authors analyse the features of the development of the structural components of emotional intelligence (cognitive, emotional, and regulatory-behavioural) in primary school children living in the central part of the city and on its outskirts. It is established that higher indicators of the cognitive (understanding and perception of emotions) and emotional (empathy) components of emotional intelligence are characteristic of primary school children living in the central part of the city, in contrast to primary school children living on the outskirts.
