This study aims to understand the role of psychological foundations in the character of students, focusing on emotional intelligence, learning motivation, mindset, and the influence of social environment. The method employed is a literature review, which collects and analyzes relevant sources. The findings indicate that students with high emotional intelligence can adapt better in learning environments, manage stress effectively, and interact positively with peers. Both intrinsic and extrinsic learning motivation significantly contribute to students' engagement and commitment in the educational process. Furthermore, a growth mindset encourages students to view mistakes as opportunities for learning. A supportive social environment, from both peers and family, has been shown to enhance students' self-confidence. This research reveals a positive relationship between these factors and the development of students' character, which is crucial for their academic and social success. Limitations of this study include the lack of empirical data and other variables that may influence students’ character. Future research is recommended to conduct more holistic empirical studies involving additional variables.
