Abstract:
The ability to make sense out of the actions of others is critical to people’s daily functioning. Humans are social experts. They understand that people’s actions are directed at goals and are driven by intentions. The adolescent is the real capital of any society and we should protect and preserve it for the betterment of the society and nation. Keeping this fact in view the present study is done with the purpose to examine and measure the social intelligence and academic achievement of adolescents. The study was conducted in Hisar district of Haryana state where two Government Senior Secondary Schools from rural area and three from urban area were selected. Social Intelligence Scale (SIS) by Chadha and Ganesan (2004) was used for assessing social intelligence. The results revealed that mean scores of 10th standards adolescents were comparatively higher than that of 8th and 9th standard of adolescents showing better level of social intelligence.
