Abstract

The present study explores the correlation of Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence in the School going Adolescents. Adolescence is an important developmental period with emotional ups and downs, identity development and increased peer and adult social interactions. Emotional intelligence gives you the inner tools to know how to feel and to manage your feelings, as well as to identify other people's feelings. Social intelligence is the outwards ability to comprehend social situations, read between the lines, and navigate relationships in complicated social scenarios. The present research examines the empirical relationship between these two important psychological constructs in adolescents aged 14-18 years old. The study was carried out on 200 adolescents, half of which were boys and the other half were girls from the secondary and senior secondary schools of the study area. The data collection method was through the standardized psychometric tools, namely 60-item Emotional Intelligence Test (EIT) developed by Dr. Ekta Sharma and 66-item Social Intelligence Scale (SIS) developed by Dr. N.K. Chadha and Dr. Usha Ganesan.  The collected data was processed statistically using Karl Pearson's product-moment to check the strength and direction of the relationship between the two main variables. Furthermore, a two-sample t-test was used to identify significant gender differences on the internal emotional factors and external social factors sub scales.  Results indicate positive interrelationships between all dimensions of Emotional intelligence. The findings show that Managing Emotions and Holding Relationships had the strongest positive correlations with Overall Emotional Intelligence. Similarly, most dimensions of Social Intelligence were positively correlated with one another. Although negative correlation was observed between Overall Emotional Intelligence and Overall Social Intelligence (r = −.18*), which was significant at the 0.05 level of significance. This finding suggests that adolescents with higher Emotional Intelligence did not necessarily have higher Social Intelligence in the present study.....
