anxiety, stress, lack of self-confidence, nervousness and other negative emotions tend to
have lower academic performance. With different mindsets, people tend to take different
measures when encountering stress. Many individuals believe that overall pressure is still
causing some negative effects on themselves. In the era of increasingly strong social
pressure, eleven grade school students are especially faced with multiple academic
works. Past studies have shown that these academic pressures will affect students’

Students have difficulties controlling their emotions that can make academic
challengers harder for them and makes them harder to concentrate and learn information
which can have negative impact on their academic performance. According to Garcia, a

their students. Moreno, l (2018) negative emotion and poor academic performance are
related to each other a negative emotions are found to have cause negative academic
achievement to students. Rowe, a (2018) emotions are related to the result of the
profiles and found that academically successful students scored significantly higher in

it as being internal and hidden until they show their knowledge and skills through various

implications for their learning and academic achievement. Emotions such as anxiety,
boredom, sadness, and anger are generally negatively related to measures of academic
According by Carlos valiente, wen wang, longfeng li, ashley m. Fraser (may,
2022), the results of the study proves that there exists a relation between the negative
emotions of depression and the academic performance of the students. The findings of the

students' depressive symptoms were used to measure the depression level of the students.
The result of the studies proved that there existed an inverse relationship between
academic achievement and depression. This perspective was then supported by Zaid,
Chan, and ho (2007). In a study conducted by Sherina et. al., 2003, it was found that the

situation. It involved analysis and the present system. With the survey method researchers
were able to statistically study specific areas where the proponents must concentrate.
The respondents of the study were all grade 11 of Dolores Senior High School

time, the letter of request to the concerned school administrator who will be joining was
prepared. While the questionnaires are being given the researcher explain how to finish
the questionnaires. On the same day, the completed questionnaires we gather the needed
data for this study, the researchers used the survey questionnaires.

REFLECTION ESSAY
What I learned from our research is that negative emotions are not a joke and are
very serious among students and others. All of us will experience this, whether we are
students or those who work, and academic performance or work can be affected
ABIGAIL L. CABULING
learned a lot when we were doing research, especially the effects of negative emotions on
students. Every student faces a lot of negative emotions, it wasn't easy for us to do
research because we didn't have enough time but we still managed to balance it because
we did time management. There were many problems in the work but we overcame them
and we learned a lot about our topic and the fellowship of each group.
