The transformations taking place in modern society make the content of any professional activity more and more complicated every year, which leads to changes in the business environment of the organization and, above all, in interpersonal communication and relationships between its employees. Formation of effective communication and interaction skills is an important and necessary condition for the development of each employee of the organization today. Those employees who can develop emotional intelligence at a high level, i.e. learn to regulate their emotional states, understand the emotions and feelings of the people around them and focus on them in the process of interaction, will be able to effectively achieve their goals and be successful in their field of activity. The authors suggested that: 1) representatives of different types of professions have their own characteristics of emotional intelligence, 2) the specifics of a person’s professional activity will influence the nature of the connections between indicators of emotional intelligence and self-attitude. The study was conducted on the basis of centers providing psychological assistance, design agencies and companies in the field of promoting modern information technologies in Belgorod. The Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire by K. Barchard (adapted by G.G. Knyazev et al.) and the Self-Attitude Test Questionnaire by V.V. Stolin and S.R. Panteleev were used as diagnostic tools. 32 psychologists engaged in private practice, 27 interior designers creating design projects for residential and office premises, and 34 IT-specialists developing and implementing software products participated in the testing. The data obtained during the study and their analysis allowed us to conclude that the level of development of emotional intelligence and almost all its indicators prevails among psychologists. It was established that the nature of the relationships between the indicators of emotional intelligence and self-attitude is influenced by the specifics of the professional activity of each sample under consideration.

Keywords: emotional intelligence, self-attitude, psychologists, interior designers, IT-specialists, expressiveness, empathy, compassion, auto-sympathy, self-interest, self-acceptance, self-blame
