Behavior refers to a series of actions, responses, or behaviors that can be observed and measured in an individual, organism, or system and this behavior are encompasses all activities that can be seen or felt by others or oneself. One's behavior plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining social relationships. Attitude, politeness, and tolerance can form the basis for healthy interactions with others. Heckman (2014) Emphasized that multiple social and emotional skills are important for success in life, such as persistence, grit, and impulse control.
Student behavior in building good relationships has a significant impact in the long term and can provide social support, strengthen social networks, and improve quality of life. The behavior and attitudes of students during secondary school have a significant and lasting impact on educational achievement, job performance, and income, even after controlling for factors such as parental socioeconomic status, IQ, and broad personality traits (Spengler, et al 2018). Major (2017) addresses the long-term impact of student behavior on success, further supporting the idea that student behavior is a key determinant of success in various aspects of life.
In daily life, a student's behavior can be considered as the key to their life success. Firstly, a student's behavior reflects their personal character and integrity, which are essential foundations for achieving life goals. When a student exhibits positive behavior, such as responsibility, hard work, and a positive work ethic, it creates a strong basis for building a successful life. This empowerment of character allows students to face challenges with a positive and resilient attitude, overcome obstacles, and lead a life with integrity.
Furthermore, a student's behavior also plays a crucial role in building healthy interpersonal relationships. The ability to communicate effectively, collaborate within a team, and establish positive relationships with others are highly valuable skills in the real world. Students with positive behavior tend to adapt more easily to social environments, build strong networks, and support each other in achieving common goals. Therefore, a student's behavior not only influences their personal life but also contributes positively to the surrounding community.
Lastly, a student's behavior can be a primary determinant of academic success. Positive learning attitudes, discipline, and focus in tackling academic tasks are key factors that influence learning achievements. Study habits, skills, and attitudes play a significant role in supporting academic performance (Cred & Kuncel, 2008).
Students with good behavior are likely to have high intrinsic motivation, a willingness to learn, and perseverance in facing educational challenges. Therefore, student behavior encompasses not only moral and social aspects but also directly impacts academic achievement
