ABSTRACT

This research investigates the relationship between Social-Emotional Competence (SEC) and Academic Achievement (AA) among adolescents, highlighting the critical role of emotional intelligence in shaping students’ academic success. The study involved 111 adolescents from tuition centers in Ahmedabad, with data collected through Google Forms and analyzed using Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results reveal a statistically significant positive correlation (p < 0.001) between SEC and AA, emphasizing the interconnected nature of emotional intelligence and cognitive functioning. While the moderate correlation underscores the multifaceted nature of academic achievement, the findings emphasize the need for a holistic approach to understanding the factors influencing student success. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies, diverse sample representations, mixed-methodology strategies, intervention studies, teacher training, and cultural adaptation of SEL measures to enrich the understanding of the complex interplay between SEC and AA.
