Social and emotional competencies play a major role in promoting a climate of positive relationships, responsibility, and a sense of family security; supporting positive behavior; achieving academic growth; contributing to emotional self-regulation; reducing anxiety about social interaction in individuals; reducing psychological stress; promoting optimism; and supporting mental health in individuals; however, there is no consensus on the number of core competencies, and how to identify and activate them. This difference in approach challenges future research, as well as the scientific utility of creating an integrative taxonomy, and focused review evaluates different approaches to visualizing and assessing social and emotional competencies. Based on common concepts, the researchers seek to provide different classifications of social and emotional learning competencies, through which they identify the basic domains and manifestations of social and emotional competencies that link frameworks focused on social and emotional learning (CASEL) and personality traits (such as the Big Five). By presenting these different developments in the classifications of social and emotional learning competencies, the researcher sees better organizing many of the terms and definitions used and directing the perception and activation of social and emotional competencies and their various aspects.
