Mối quan hệ giữa năng lực cảm xúc - xã hội và cảm nhận hạnh phúc của sinh viên: nghiên cứu tại Trường Đại học Văn Lang

Tóm tắt

Contemporary university education is increasingly focusing on the comprehensive development of learners' capacities, especially soft skills that contribute to shaping the quality of life. This study investigates the relationship between social-emotional competence and university students’ perceived happiness within the context of higher education. Employing a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from a sample of 396 students at Van Lang University using measurement scales that have been validated for reliability in Vietnam. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and linear regression analysis. The findings reveal that social-emotional competence is positively and significantly associated with students’ well-being. Notably, the dimensions of Self-Awareness and Responsible Decision-Making emerge as the strongest predictors. The study offers a deeper understanding of the role of socialemotional competence in promoting students’ well-being and practical implications for embedding social-emotional learning into undergraduate programs.
