Bullying has generated a social alarm in recent years. For this reason, the present systematic review has as its main objective to carry out an analysis of updated information that allows describing those areas belonging to emotional intelligence that are less developed in the profile of the aggressor and in that of the victim, and that have a negative effect on the person and is the cause of bullying. The search was conducted in the ERIC, Psicodoc, PsycINFO, and Scopus da-tabases, finally obtaining a total of 17 quantitative investigations. The results show that a good development of emotional intelligence provides students with a series of tools in terms of conflict resolution, emotional regulation and social skills, which reduces the possibility of being a victim or aggressor of bullying.
