Social emotional learning is a multifaceted academic concept and field of research concerned with the processes through which individuals acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. This concept investigates the development, assessment, and impact of these core competencies on personal well-being, academic achievement, and social functioning across various developmental stages and contexts, often serving as a framework for educational and psychological interventions.
