The Impact of Emotional Intelligence Element on Academic Achievement

Abstract

This study's goal is to analyze the connection between the five components of emotional intelligence—self-awareness, emotional management, self-motivation, empathy, and interpersonal skills—and academic success in high school. The five components of emotional intelligence are examined in this research to see whether they correlate with improved academic performance. Pearson's correlation and multiple regression are utilized for statistical inference. The findings demonstrated that self-awareness, emotional-management skills, and empathy all had a significant r=0.21 with academic success at the p<0.05 level. Three components of emotional intelligence—self-awareness (ß = 0261), self-motivation (ß = - 0182), and empathy (ß = 0167)—explained 8.7% of the variance in the outcome variable (academic performance), according to a multiple regression analysis (stepwise) study. The correlation between emotional intelligence and scholastic success was also modeled in this research. According to the results of these analyses, students' emotional intelligence levels are positively associated with their overall cognitive performance. Additionally, "Utilization of Emotion" and "Management of Others' Emotion" were shown to be strongly related to the respondents' English proficiency. For educators and educational officials, the importance of emotional intelligence in promoting academic success has far-reaching ramifications. Therefore, consistent development of students' emotional intelligence is crucial to the production of a competent generation and a prosperous nation in accordance with the philosophy of education.
