INTRODUCTION:
Emotional intelligence is learning to recognize our emotions and feelings and then understand where they come from
and be able to control them. It leads us from the beginning of life to the end, when we are small this is what our
parents or guardians try to instill in us. In addition, emotional intelligence also implies knowing how to relate to
others, fundamentally through empathy. As we grow and mature, the responsibility for acquiring it falls more and
more on ourselves to the point of being totally independent. Many people come to understand this value as a result
of habits that at some point can be harmful in other aspects and another series of people throughout their lives are
not capable of having them.

METHODS:
In articles 1 and 3 the study method coincides. It is a cross-sectional study that used a quantitative and correlational
methodology, called Mayer and Salovey. It is based on giving students between the ages of 12 and 16 a self-report
on Trait Emotional Intelligence (a type of personality characterized by empathy and the intensity with which life is
lived).

In article 2, the tripartite method is used (it is a model that allows the high capacity of individuals to be approached
and evaluated from different perspectives). In reviewing the article, they identified 36 studies evaluating EI in the
context of athletic or physical activity. The tripartite model proposes that EI operates at three levels: knowledge,
ability, trait, and predicts an interaction between the different levels of EI.

In article 4, the subjects were 251 university students who completed the Emotional Control and Expression Scale
(EEC), the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), and the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS). It also uses the
Mayer and Salovey method.

RESULTS:
In article 1 it is observed that the model created for the "frequency of tobacco consumption per year" with the group
of young people aged 12 to 13 allowed a correct estimate in 77.2% of the cases. Similarly, the model for the age
group of 14 to 16 years allowed a correct estimate of 72.6%. These results support the idea that adolescents who
are better able to understand and regulate their own emotions and those of others are more competent when it
comes to managing disagreements with the group, which in turn reduces their risk of consumption due to the
pressure of the same. Regarding the factors of the ability of the EI, the ability to perceive and adequately understand
emotions was inversely associated with the variables of tobacco consumption.
In article 2 it is found that one of the results to highlight is that high-performance athletes with the most developed
emotional intelligence capacity at the time of competitions, demonstrated greater performance. Due to the stress
generated by those specific days and being able to regulate emotions, taking them to a point in favor in the long
term.

In article 3 it is observed that with respect to the age group 12-13 years, 13.9% stated that they had consumed this
substance, with an appreciable increase in consumption in the group of 14-16 years (27.3%).

In article 4, the results obtained through the methods/scales used showed that both alexithymia and emotional
control play an important role in emotional intelligence. Thus, confirming that alexithymia and emotional intelligence
are constructions that strongly overlap. They are also found according to alexithymic individuals who lack the
regulation inherent to emotional control and therefore necessarily, although obviously not enough, to emotional
intelligence.

CONCLUSION:
It could be concluded that those adolescents with a greater ability to perceive emotions and deal with their own in a
moderate way are able to understand and repair their own negative emotional states and are less likely to start or
increase drug and tobacco use. In the field of sport, not only the physical state influences, but also the psychological
capacity of each individual. Emotional intelligence plays a fundamental role in being able to manage emotions in a
productive way when training and competing. Despite these factors, the concept of alexithymia must be highlighted.
Which as a result of recent years has been normalizing the ability to recognize and express our own emotions
without hesitation or appear weak with respect to other people.
In personal conclusion, recognizing our own emotions and knowing how to express them in front of other people
does not reflect weakness, but rather a degree of intelligence since
It implies knowing how to know and accept our interior to reconcile ourselves with ourselves and with society.
