Numerous studies have shown that emotional intelligence can increase the health, prosperity, wealth, success, love and happiness.4 It also leads to better performance in four areas of self-awareness (understanding their capabilities and express them), social awareness (awareness of others and understand its capabilities and empathy), relationship management, and self-management (ability to adapt to change and solve problems personal and social).5 In terms of time-it1 Emotional intelligence is leading to mental health and, ultimately, success in education.6

Success in education at school and in later years on campus, with emotional skills, social and emotional intelligence as an incentive, the ability to wait, obey orders and impulse control skills to ask for help from others and express emotional needs and related training.7 Training students in all courses, in order to change behavior, thoughts, attitudes and skills they are done and finally for progress and academic performance is measured.8 So pay attention to the factors that contribute to motivation are of particular importance.9 The findings of some research and studies, explaining the role and importance of motivation in academic achievement.1 The success motivation achievement motivation or desire or passion success rate and participate in activities that their success depends on the efforts and ability of the person. Achievement Motivation plays an important role in motor learning and individual behaviors that lead to better and more effective learning.10 The role of health promotion as a factor in explaining the motivation arises and quality of life is one of the criteria for evaluating the health status has been introduced.

Discussion

This study aimed to determine the relationship between academic achievement and quality of life and emotional intelligence University students took Bam. According to the results, the mean score of academic achievement, emotional intelligence and quality of life were observed statistically significant differences in demographic variables. The results Farmer et al. there are different levels of education. In this ghazanfari and the Hashemite et al.21 the demographic variables found no significant relationship with achievement motivation and quality of life. Results Consistent with results in line, which could be due to the fact that emotional intelligence, academic achievement and quality of life are learned that with proper training can improve and are motivated by personal circumstances and family depend. The relationship between academic achievement and quality of life and emotional intelligence results and a positive significant relationship between achievement motivation and quality of life and emotional intelligence showed. The findings on the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement is inconsistent and inconclusive results cannot be withdrawn from them. Some research findings show that a positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence and academic performance.22 And can be emotional intelligence as a predictor of academic achievement was remarkable.23 But the findings of other studies show that between emotional intelligence and academic achievement in the population of students there is no significant relationship.8

As for the relationship between achievement motivation and academic achievement this contradiction can be seen. For example, the findings of some studies show that between motivation and educational progress, there is a significant difference between male and female students in terms of achievement motivation meaningful way that motivation and academic achievement of girls than boys.24 But other studies show that there is no significant relationship between achievement motivation and academic achievement.25 The results Mansouri, farmer, god god Abadi et al. in line with the findings of the present study. When the person has the skills to control emotions and negative emotions, and also has the capabilities to create intrinsic motivation regardless of reinforcing the outer and the ability and communication skills recognized, the person in the learning environment has the ability and success of other people.26 In other words, people who have a higher quality of life of achievement motivation will be higher and more healthy. Despite significant relationship between academic achievement and the quality of life and emotional intelligence, regression analysis showed a significant correlation between the variables of achievement motivation and the quality of life there. Emotional Intelligence also failed to predict students' academic achievement significantly. Results of desire oven.27 And Hussein Hussein a man and a man28 is consistent. But the Ylkylakan et al.29 stated that emotional intelligence can predict academic progress of students. The reason for this discrepancy could be the difference between the study groups.

Conclusion

The results of this study showed that between emotional intelligence, academic achievement and the quality of life there is no significant relationship that could be factors such as differences in the research community, cultural differences in learning. Generalized motivation and training, so training motivation can help a lot in it.
