摘要：This research was supported by Grant Agency VEGA (Grant No.2/4171/04) and the Centre of Excelence of the Slovak Academy of Sciences – CEVIT In spite of the fact that social intelligence seems to be ”a real and influential individual characteristic,research has often failed to demonstrate the validity of it"(Silvera,Martinussen,Dahl,2001,pp.313).Silvera,Martinussen and Dahl (2001) pointed very thoroughly at the main difficulties and causes of inconsistencies in perceiving the construct of social intelligence:1.Difficulties in defining social intelligence The most appealing difficulties arise from different ways in defining social intelligence.Researchers have come to agreement that social intelligence is a multi-dimensional construct but a solid,universally acknowledged definition is still missing.The diversity of opinions and inability to find the consensus seem to be the origin of all other problems with measuring social intelligence.Distinctiveness and usefulness of the construct are questioned,as well.There are many similar,overlapping constructs,such as emotional intelligence,social competence,practical intelligence,etc.(Lupták,2003,Orosová,Sarková,Madarasová Gecková,Katreniaková,2004).The difference among them is not always clear and this fact contributes to the use of varying terminology among researchers.The great inconsistency lies in the emphasis on cognitive or behavioral components.Some authors consider almost any social skill component to be social intelligence,some authors apply a narrow interpretation of social intelligence,and some define social intelligence as adaptability in social performance.
