The Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Academic Achievement in a Lebanese Sample (SBS thesis, Haigazian University)https://doi.org/10.62811/th.0061https://haigrepository.haigazian.edu.lb/handle/123456789/188The main purpose of this study was to examine the relation between emotional intelligence and academic achievement in seventh and tenth grade classrooms (N= 149:81 males and 68 females). It was a correlational study that utilized the Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence Assessment for Youth and the Students' academic records (2009-2010). The results indicated no correlation between general academic averages and emotional intelligence scores (EQ). There was a positive correlation between emotional intelligence (EI) subscales and academic subjects but no correlation between age and emotional intelligence. The results also indicated that there is no significant difference between the performance of females and males in emotional intelligence. This work indicates that nonintellectual skills could be contributing factors to students' academic and maybe life success.
