Effects of Social and Emotional Learning Skills on Life Satisfaction and Hope

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate effects of social emotional learning skills on multidimensional life satisfaction and hope, and to examine whether all differ on gender and grade level. Data were collected through the Social-Emotional Learning Skills Scale, a demographic data sheet, the Turkish version of Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale, and Children’s Hope Scale. For this study, 368 6-8th graders attending a primary school in Güngören, İstanbul, in the 2009-10 academic year were selected by convenience. Data were analyzed by means of independent-samples t-tests, one-way ANOVAs, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskall-Wallis H tests, and multiple linear regressions. Social emotional learning skills and multidimensional life satisfaction were found to differ on gender and grade level while hope only on grade level. Besides, social and emotional learning skills and self-esteem enhancing skills were found to positively predict life satisfaction while hope was predicted by social and emotional learning skills.
