Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to explore the relationship between academic achievement and emotional intelligence among adolescent girls in Peshawar, KP, Pakistan. Emotional Intelligence is now not a novice phenomenon in the field of education, and many of the researches proved that emotional intelligence is an important contributor to academic success. In this advanced era of time, people still believe that academic grades are the only source of high grades and success in life, but this is not true for every person. In fact, some of the research studies stated that EQ is more important for success in the academic field in comparison to IQ. However, educators often overlook the significance of emotional well-being, prioritizing academic performance instead. The sole aim of the study is to find out the relationship between EI and AA (academic achievement). The major objectives of the study were to investigate the impact of EI on AA (academic achievement) and to examine the relationship between EI (emotional intelligence) and (academic achievement) among intermediate school girls in Peshawar Cantonment. Regression analysis revealed a significant relationship (R2 = 0.125, F (134) = 19.020, P < 0.01), indicating that trait emotional intelligence predicts academic achievement.
