abstract = {Emotional intelligence skills in students may be related with physical and mental health,
within and outside the academic field. Strengthening these skills can lead to greater overall well-being,
lower use of substances, and improved academic performance, aswell as reduced aggressive behaviours.
The objective of this study was to analyse the levels of emotional intelligence (differentiating between
the dimensions: emotional Attention, Clarity, and Repair) among high school students and examine
its relationship with academic performance and emotional well-being, considering if there are
differences between boys and girls and between different grades. A cross-sectional descriptive study
was developed on a sample of 333 High School students using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS)
and KIDSCREEN-10 Index tools. Differences in emotional intelligence were observed between
boys and girls for the three dimensions, and a relationship between emotional intelligence and
student well-being was appreciated. No relationships were found between emotional intelligence
and academic performance, nor have any differences been observed between the different courses
analysed. It cannot be concluded that academic performance is related to emotional intelligence,
but a relationship between well-being and emotional intelligence is found.},
