This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between emotional intelligence, perfectionism, and trait anxiety, drawing on modern theoretical and empirical approaches. The study aims to identify the influence of emotional intelligence on the manifestation of perfectionistic tendencies and their relationship with anxiety. The concepts of «emotional intelligence», «perfectionism» and «anxiety» are clarified, and their structural components and mechanisms of interaction are revealed. Particular attention is paid to the role of emotional intelligence in adaptation to stressful situations and the influence of perfectionism on emotional exhaustion and increased anxiety. It is emphasized that striving for an unattainable ideal and suppressing emotions intensify internal conflicts and disrupt behavior. The empirical portion of the study relied on a quantitative design and included the use of correlational data analysis. The results revealed that individual components of emotional intelligence – self-control and subjective well-being – have a negative predictive relationship with trait anxiety. At the same time, maladaptive manifestations of perfectionism demonstrate a positive predictive effect, increasing the level of anxiety. These relationships confirm the complex dynamics of the interaction between cognitive and emotional personality factors and highlight the need to develop emotional competence as a key resource for psychological resilience.
