preschool to fourth grade, to see the extent to which social- emotional factors may have influence (impact) on academic success throughout the years.
The results of Table 1 show a great impact of social-emo- tional factors such as interaction with the persons around (IPA), experience, recognize and express emotions properly (ERPEE), and the ability of self-regulate emotions (ASRE) on academic success in the first grade.
In Table 2, results show that emotional factors such as in- teraction with the persons around (IPA) and the ability of self- regulate emotions (ASRE), can predict later academic success for students in the second grade. There are almost the same re- sults within the third grade, presented in Table 3, where factors like experiences recognize and express emotions properly (ER- PEE) and the ability of self-regulate emotions (ASRE), show high relationship level with academic success, while in Table 4, show no significant correlations between social-emotional de- velopment and academic success.
