The present study investigates the relationship between emotional behaviour and academic achievement in
middle school children in Hyderabad, Pakistan. One hundred and forty-six students of grade 8 completed the
Emotional Behavioural Scale for Pakistani Adolescents (EBS-PA; Soomro, 2010), and rendered measures of
their social anxiety, malevolent aggression, and social self-esteem scores. These measures cumulatively
represented emotional behaviour in these children, based upon Clarbour and Roger‟s (2004) model of emotional
style, on which the EBS-PA scale is based. We then ascertained academic grades of these students from their
school records and ran correlation between academic achievement (grades) and emotional behaviour measures.
Results revealed academic achievement to be negatively associated with malevolent aggression, but positively
related to social self-esteem. In addition, mediator analysis indicated social self-esteem to partially mediate the
relationship between malevolent aggression and academic achievement.
