description The first time we can find Emotional Intelligence concept is in a paper written by Peter Salovey and John Mayer in 1990. They describe Emotional Intelligence as the ability to perceive and express emotion, assimilate emotion in thought, understand and reason with emotion, and regulate emotion in the self and. From the beginning of Emotional Intelligence concept, many studies have confirmed a high correlation between Emotional Intelligence and well-being and multiple variables of social adaptation. In this way, Cádiz Government has the purpose to contribute to personal and social development and to improve social well-being and the quality of life. For that, they made a request to Emotional Intelligence Laboratory from University of Cadiz for the development of educational programs to improve social adaptation of women from Cádiz. As a result of this collaboration, our main target is to design a Emotional Socialization Program based on Mayer and Salovey (1997). In this paper, our objective is to confirm the impact of emotional training sessions on the family climate of a sample of women from Cádiz ( N = 60), with a double intention, improve women well-being and that this improvement will benefit their family. The results show a statistically significant improvement in the variables of Family Climate Scale (Moos, Moos and Trickett , 1995), with no influence of other variables such as age, employment status or marital status. This study provides preliminary empirical evidence on the importance of working Emotional Intelligence (Mayer and Salovey, 1997 ) to improve personal and familiar well-being.
