Adolescence is a critical period in which significant developments occur in social-emotional
learning skills and peer relationships. Therefore, it will be important to know which variables are
effective in social-emotional learning skills and peer relationships and to determine whether there
is a relationship between these two skills. This study is a cross-sectional field study based on the
model of the quantitative descriptive survey. The research group of the research consists of 364
students between the ages of 14 and 18, those who are located in the Provincial Center, those who
are associated with Bilecik Provincial Directorate of National Education in Turkey within the
2019-2020 Academic Year and those who continue their high school education. For the research
data, Social-Emotional Learning Scale developed by Totan (2018) and Peer Relationships Scale
developed by Kaner (2000) and personal information form about students were used. As a result
of the findings, it was found that adolescents had the highest score in the sub-dimensions of
responsible decision-making and commitment and the lowest in self-disclosure and loyalty. Selfawareness and relationship skills, which are the sub-dimensions of social-emotional learning,
affect the peer relationship. Besides peer relationship was found to be positively associated with
social-emotional learning.
