    Exploring the Relationship between Social and Emotional Skills, Behavior, and Academic Achievement
    (2012) Kurd, Howayda Rateb
    The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between social-emotional skills, behavior and academic achievement in middle and high school grades 7-12 (N = 85). It was a correlational study that utilized the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire - Adolescent Form and students' academic records (2011-2012). The results indicated a positive correlation between emotionality and one subscale (empathy) with total academic achievement. There was no correlation between sociability and all its subscales with externalizing behavior. The results indicated a negative correlation between sociability and all its subscales with internalizing behavior. Emotionality and all its subscales except empathy had a negative correlation with externalizing behavior and internalizing behavior. This study indicated that social and emotional skills could be contributing to students' academic and life success.
