Emotional Intelligence 101
Emotional intelligence (EI)—a term popularized by psychologist Daniel Goleman (1995) and originally conceptualized by Peter Salovey and John Mayer (1990)—represents the capability to perceive, integrate, understand, and regulate one’s own and others’ emotions to guide thought and behavior effectively. Despite once being overshadowed by traditional measures of intelligence quotient (IQ), emotional intelligence has steadily gained recognition in both the scientific community and public discourse as an integral predictor of personal, academic, and professional success (Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2004). This shift underscores that cognitive skills alone do not capture the full breadth of human competence, and that emotional mastery is vital for healthy interpersonal relationships, effective leadership, and robust mental well-being (Brackett & Rivers, 2014). In fact, EI has been linked to outcomes such as better stress management, superior conflict resolution, and heightened empathy, highlighting its significance in domains ranging from family life to global business operations.

Understanding The Relationship Between Psychoneuroimmunology and Childhood Trauma : Why It Matters
Childhood psychosocial stressors can impact the development of the immune system, which can then affect the development of the brain and its long-term functioning due to the two-way relationship between the immune system and the brain. Psychoneuroimmunology of early-life stress can provide a novel framework for comprehending and treating psychopathology associated with childhood trauma, based on observational human studies and experimental animal models. Remarkably, several incidents involved once-healthy people who became mentally ill despite not having any physical injuries—the so-called "railway spine."
