Assuming that effective teachers of the disturbed and maladjusted possess the same characteristics as effective therapists, a research project investigated the relationship between personality attributes and effectiveness in teachers in this area. The Teacher-Pupil Relationship Inventory (TPRI) was used to measure the personality variables of empathic understanding, congruence, level of regard, and unconditionality of regard. A significant gain in academic achievement level was found in those pupils who saw their teachers as possessing a high degree of these attributes.

This corelational study aimed at investigating the relationship between the moral intelligence of a group of Yemeni EFL student teachers and their academic achievement. It also aimed at finding out any statistically significant differences between the moral intelligence of the student teachers who are categorized into high and low achievers. One hundred and twelve Yemeni EFL student teachers of a third level in the teacher preparation program at the Department of English in the College of Education at Sana’a University in Yemen participated in this study. Their ages ranged between 21 and 25 years. Data were collected using a literature-based questionnaire. The results of this study show that the mean of the ten categories of the moral intelligence is 4.02 (80.4%) indicating a high degree of moral intelligence. The results show that there is no statistically significant differencesat the 0.05 level between the moral intelligence and academic achievement in the Morphology and Syntax course. The results also indicate that there are no statistically significant differences at the level of 0.05 between high and low achievers on nine categories of the moral intelligence. Furthermore, the results indicate that there are no statistically significant differences at the level of 0.05 between female and male student teachers on nine categories of the moral intelligence, namely: Faith, Honesty, Integrity, Courage, Discipline, Responsibility, Service, Kindness and Courtesy. The study findings confirm the previous studies and present some suggestions for further research.

This study investigated the extent to which IQ and emotional/behavioral factors were related to tested academic achievement in 56 child psychiatric inpatients. The first part of the study replicated and extended previous research; WISC—R IQs were highly correlated with tested achievement, Verbal IQs being more highly correlated with achievement than were Performance or Full Scale IQs. In the second part of the study which examined the relationship between the emotional/behavioral indices and achievement, only Trait Anxiety correlated significantly with achievement. However, after the relationship between Trait Anxiety and Verbal IQ was partialed out, the correlation between anxiety and achievement was no longer significant. These findings raise questions regarding the magnitude of the relationship between measures of emotional/behavioral status and tested academic achievement within a single sample of emotionally disturbed children and adolescents.

A 60-item for initial emotional intelligence scale was utilized and analyzed to test their psychometric properties by pilot testing. A final total of 303 students with ages ranged between 12-16 years old participated in the research. The research findings suggested the final formulation of items of the emotional intelligence scale that can measure the levels of emotional intelligence of students along with a significantly positive relationship to academic achievement. There were statistically significant differences in the respondents' level of emotional intelligence according to the gender variable. In comparison, there were no statistically significant differences in the respondents' level of emotional intelligence according to the grade variable. Recommendations of the research were presented.

In this study we investigated the relationship between academic achievement and the students' characteristics such as personality traits, learning motivation or intellectual ability. Our intention was to highlight possible predictors of academic achievement on the level of higher education. A sample­group of 284 pre-service teachers voluntarily participated in the study. The results showed a significant correlation between academic achievement and some personality variables such as conscientiousness, emotional stability, self­esteem and self-control. Moreover, intellectual ability and intrinsic motivation positively correlated with academic achievement, as shown in previous studies. Regression analysis further revealed that the most important predictors of academic achievement were intrinsic motivation, intelligence, self-control and self-esteem. Overall, it seems that identifying the predictors of academic achievement and wisely integrating them in the classroom setting could significantly improve the quality of instruction in higher education.
