Social intelligence is the ability of an individual to comprehend feelings and emotions of other individual and respond according to the situations. Social intelligence is necessary for leading a successful life in a society. Social intelligence comprised of four components: social skills, social awareness, social information processing, and social desirability. The components of social intelligence relate differentially with aggression, altruism and compassion. And they are very important to determine the level of social intelligence among adults. Although the social intelligence has been reviewed with aggression, altruism and compassion many times but differential relationship of its components has not been studied so far. Therefore the present study has been under taken to assess the relationship of social intelligence with aggression, altruism and compassion. The study was conducted on 200 adults age ranging between 20 years to 30 years. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used for the study and tools used were Tromso social intelligence scale given by Silvera et al. (2001). The Transgression- Related Interpersonal Motivation Scale (TRIM) by McCullough et al. (1998); compassionate love for humanity scale by Sprecher and Fehr (2005); The helping attitude scale given by (Nickell, 1998). The finding revealed that social intelligence was positively correlated with altruism as well as compassion and negatively correlated with aggression. Further, social information processing was significantly positively correlated with altruism and compassion. Whereas, social skills and social awareness were significantly negatively correlated with aggression.Keywords
