The Effect of Emotional Intelligence on High School Students’ Academic Achievement

Abstract

Student academic achievement is influenced by various factors, including emotional intelligence. This study aims to determine the effect of emotional intelligence on the academic achievement of 10th-grade students at Kupang State High School 4. This study employed a quantitative research method with a causal approach. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The results show that emotional intelligence has no effect on student academic achievement (F = 2.427; p > 0.05), with a contribution of 2.2%. Therefore, efforts to improve academic achievement must be comprehensive, taking into account various internal and external factors, rather than focusing solely on emotional intelligence.
