There are other studies conducted by well-known psychologists that prove the existence of emotional intelligence. For example, Peter Salovey, he is one of the founders of the concept of emotional intelligence. He is also a part-time rector of Yale University and an honorary doctor of Harvard.
Another thing is that no one can demand 100% accuracy from research in psychology, as in physics. Now we are in general experiencing an interesting moment, which is called the crisis of replicating psychological experiments.
This is especially true in social psychology. Some concepts that have made headlines in the past are being revised or don't stand up to the test of time. For example, Amy Cuddy, who popularized Power Poses, admitted that modern research does not support her conclusions.
It is incorrect to demand 100% accuracy from psychology, but it is also incorrect to say that ” something does not exist and this is a fiction””
Yes, the topic of EQ is young and every day I receive dozens of studies in the mail, some of which confirm correlations with EQ, some of which refute. But it is better to discuss the meaning of a particular concept in psychology using examples of specific people who have not been helped.

Nothing, nothing, no need. Emotional intelligence is a construct promoted by journalists, but not really existing, poorly defined and not reliably measurable. Due to the huge popularity of this concept among the population, it is very easy to get grants for its research, there are a lot of studies on the topic, but their quality… Let me just say that the whole history of EI research is a big scandal and it has already caused huge damage to the reputation of psychology and its methodology.
Again, EI simply doesn't exist. Most EI tests actually measure some combination of previously well-studied and directly unrelated parameters, or are unreliable/non-reproducible. In 2004, published research data (Schulte, Ree, Carretta) according to which the value of EI can be reliably predicted based on data on IQ, gender of the respondent and the result of the BFI test, if specifically the values of the trait “benevolence”. The study was subsequently repeated repeatedly and successfully, and the correlation between the combination of these three parameters and the EI was from 0.76 to 0.81. This is a surprisingly strong correlation for psychology, a rare case when it is possible to draw conclusions with confidence.
Other researchers (Roberts, 2001) have found that a number of widely used EI tests actually measure conformism. Can you guess what kind of response is expected from you? Well done, your EI is very developed.
The icing on the cake is the fact that the predictive power of EI appears to be almost zero, and it is impossible to predict with any degree of reliability what results a person will achieve in work or study (Landy, 2005), unlike the IQ value or the value of the big five conscientiousness trait.
To summarize, emotional intelligence is a fiction.
