ABSTRACT:

Prevalence rates for mental illness in preschoolers, preadolescents, and adolescents have been approximated at 12, 15, and 18 respectively. With such high prevalence rates of neuroticism in youth, the impact on family units, schools, communities, and taxpayers is enormous, especially when these disorders go untreated. In many researches, major offences occur as consequences of neuroticism, it is essential to find those variables that can affect the expressions of such behaviors. In this regard, one useful variable is Emotional Intelligence (EI) or the ability to perceive, use, understand, and regulate emotions. The objective of our research is to systematically review and find the relation between EI and Neuroticism. In conclusion, both neuroticism and EI are opposite to each other, so current findings are reasonably understandable. These findings are in line with existing literature where strong inverse relationship has been found between EI and neuroticism.
