Description
Summary:A total of 92 students from an Islamic school in Johor were selected as respondents in this study. Emotional intelligence in the adolescents are viewed in five dimensions namely self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills. Adolescent akhlak focuses on three domains which are akhlak towards Allah, oneself and human being. The descriptive analysis shows that the adolescents possess a high level of emotional intelligence. It also indicates that the adolescents have good akhlak. The findings additionally reveal a significant relationship between every dimension of emotional intelligence with each domain of adolescent akhlak with a little exception that is there is no significant relationship between empathy and the adolescent akhlak towards Allah and human beings.
