Even the ability to react emotionally already exists in infant period with the basic form of emotional behavior is a general stimulation of a strong stimulus. However, as we get older, one’s emotional reactions will become less extensive. Emotional intelligence is the ability to regulate life and understand other people’s emotions, motivation and social-personal abilities. The purpose of this study is to examine personal-social guidance effectiveness in developing students’ emotional intelligence. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. The results showed a significant difference between pretest and Posttest score of emotional intelligence. Thus it can be concluded that personal-social guidance can develop emotional intelligence effectively. Students who have good emotional abilities can feel, accept, understand and build emotions well.
