The descriptive analysis used mean and standard deviation, while hypothesis testing used the product moment correlation and multiple. The research results found a negative and significant relationship between EI with social media usage (rxy = -0.251; p <0.05). Furthermore, there is a significant negative correlation between the learning achievement and social media use (rxy = -0.429; p <0.05). There is also a significant correlation between emotional intelligence and learning achievement with social media usage (ryx1x2 = 0.472 ≥ 0.138; p <0.05).
