Abstract: This review presents a comprehensive analysis of existing literature on socio-emotional connectedness among students and its influencing factors. A total of 21 peer-reviewed articles, published between 2000 and 2024, were systematically selected from reputable databases, including SAGE Journals Online, Springer, Elsevier, ResearchGate, Shodhganga, and ERIC. The findings indicate that socio-emotional connectedness plays a crucial role in student well-being, with strong associations found between this concept and key factors such as school environment, peer relationships, mental health, and anxiety levels. A positive school climate and supportive peer interactions contribute significantly to students' emotional well-being, fostering a sense of belonging and reducing stress. Conversely, negative social experiences and lack of emotional support can heighten anxiety and hinder academic performance. Despite extensive research on this topic, a notable gap exists in studies focusing on the Indian educational context, particularly among adolescent students. The review highlights the urgent need for further exploration, especially concerning primary school students, to better understand the unique socio-emotional challenges they face in India's diverse educational landscape. Addressing this gap would provide valuable insights for educators and policymakers to develop interventions that enhance students' emotional well-being and academic success.
Keywords: Peer support, school climate, socio-emotional connectedness.
