Abstract
Since its origin in 1990, there has been a remarkable rise in the quantity of research relating to the concept of Emotional Intelligence (IQ). This article collects the main contributions from the Spanish scientific community concerning this construct within the field of education; it also discusses research about the nature of EI and instruments for EI measurement, as well as criterion validity with regard to variables relating to the school and university context. In addition, it reviews the main lines of work that are being pursued within Educational Guidance, giving preference to the design, application and validation of programs focused on developing EI skills and competencies.
