dc.description.abstractSince emotional intelligence is still not wholly accepted despite evidences of its powerful influence in general setting, this study is conducted to identify emotional intelligence and anxiety, as well as their relationships with academic achievement. It involved a sample of 200 J.S.S 1 and S.S.S 1 students. Process of data collection was administered by using a set of questionnaire which includes a self report measure of emotional intelligence adapted from Schutte Self-Report of Emotional Intelligence (SSRI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). T-test analysis showed that there were no significant differences for the emotional intelligence level within all students between ages 13 and 16. However, there were significant differences for the emotional intelligence level among female students in accordance to age. The results showed that there were significant differences between emotional intelligence level of male and female students. Mean score of emotional intelligence of female students was higher than that of male students. Pearson correlation analysis showed that emotional intelligence levels of all students were significantly negative in relation to anxiety level. Emotional intelligence was also significantly positive in correlation with academic achievement of all variables including student's age and gender. The study revealed that anxiety was also significantly correlated in a negative manner with academic achievement among all students.
