In the context of modern education, emotional intelligence is increasingly recognized as a core competency that
fosters professional resilience, enhances adaptability, and promotes holistic development among students,
particularly in the arts. This article systematizes three representative theoretical models of emotional
intelligence꞉ the competency model, the social ‑ emotional competency model, and the extended emotional
intelligence model. It further clarifies the relationship between emotional intelligence and the psychological
characteristics of art students ‑ a group notable for their emotional richness, sensitivity to social feedback, and
strong inclination toward individualized self‑expression. In addition, the article emphasizes the importance of
emotional intelligence in arts education and proposes strategic directions for its development in arts training
programs. Developing emotional intelligence is identified as a key strategy to enhance the quality of the
creative and humanistic workforce in today's dynamic professional environment.
