Social Intelligence and Its Relationship with Psychological Resilience among Students of the College of Education for Pure Sciences

The current research aims to identify the relationship between social intelligence and psychological resilience. The researcher used two tools: a social intelligence scale and a psychological resilience scale. To achieve the objectives of the current research, the researcher prepared a social intelligence scale based on Gardner's theory (Gardner, 1983) and also constructed a psychological resilience scale according to Pienaar's model (Pienaar, 2007). The researcher determined the psychometric properties, including validity and reliability indicators, for both scales using statistical software to extract the results. The findings indicated that the sample had below-average social intelligence. The results for the second objective indicated that the research sample had average psychological resilience. The third objective's results showed a positive correlation between the research variables of social intelligence and psychological resilience. The fourth objective's results indicated no differences in the relationship between social intelligence and psychological resilience according to gender (male-female). In light of these results, the researcher provided several recommendations and suggestions.
