Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between emotional intelligence, social skills and academic performance in students of Secondary Compulsory Education (ESO) of a Castilla La Mancha private center, in Spain, which ages are from 13 to 16 years old. Participants in the study are 73 students of Secondary Compulsory Education (ESO). The 47,9% of the total students are female, and 52,1 % are male.The instruments used were the EQ-i:YV test, by BarOn (1977), the Matson Questionnaire of social skills for adolescent students (Matson, Rotatori and Helsen, 1983) and the cumulative record of evaluation, for each participating students in this study. The data analysis techniques employed in this study have been correlation analysis and multiple regression step by step analyse. Results of this study show a connection between the total punctuations of social skills and the academic performance in all levels of ESO. (Secondary Compulsory Education). The higher results in social skills, the higher results in academic performance. In adition, we can find a connection between some factors of social skills and factors of emotional intelligence that influences academic performance, according to Factor II of Matson (Social Skills/Assertiveness) and the Factor C of BarOn (stress management).
