Abstract
The thesis examines students’ emotional intelligence (EI) as a significant psychological factor of academic success. Based on the integration of ability-based, trait, and mixed models of EI, the mechanisms of its influence on learning motivation, self-regulation, academic emotions, and the quality of social interaction in higher education are analyzed. The paper summarizes findings from international and Russian studies confirming the relationship between EI and academic performance, engagement, and psychological well-being. The practical significance of developing EI within the educational environment is substantiated.
