Abstract

Abstract. The article is devoted to highlighting the role and significance of emotional intelligence in the structure of future psychologists’ professional resourcefulness. To achieve this goal, the paper provides a brief overview of the theoretical-phenomenological model and presents a generalized analysis of some results from the research on psychological features of resource provision for future psychologists' professional development. Specifically, the results of correlation and factor analyses are presented, demonstrating the crucial role of emotional intelligence components, such as emotional awareness, empathy, managing the emotions of other people, and self-motivation, in ensuring the professional resourcefulness of psychology students. This significance was verified by establishing correlations and interdependencies between the investigated properties and the self-assessment of the professional development level. We identified that respondents with a high self-assessment of professional development level possess well-developed emotional intelligence, which serves as a guarantee for the success of their professionalization. In contrast, psychology students with a low self-assessment of professional development level exhibit significantly lower values in indicators of emotional intelligence and its components, and the structure of their factors is diffuse. This confirms the importance of developing emotional intelligence in future psychologists during their professional training.
