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

Social Intelligence is the ability to successfully build relations and navigate social environments. Defense Mechanism refers to innate involuntary regulatory processes that allow individuals to reduce cognitive dissonance and to minimize sudden changes in internal and external environments by altering how these events are perceived. Coping Strategies are conscious efforts made by individuals to alter the environment so as to reduce stress and are generally employed when the situation is controlled. These conscious and unconscious behaviors somehow reflect the mechanisms underneath which operate to influence the adjustment of the individual in the outer environment which are detrimental for the health and happiness of an individual. Late adolescence's stage is the transition period where one enters a new phase and has so many years ahead to establish healthy relations Therefore the present study aims to predict Social Intelligence on the basis of Defense Mechanism and coping strategies as used by 200 adolescents (100 male & 100 female) between the age ranges of 19 to 22 years. They completed a self report questionnaire of Social Intelligence (Tromso Intelligence Scale, 2001); Defense Mechanism (Defense Mechanism inventory, 2012); Coping Strategies (The ways of coping questionnaire revised, 1986). Bivariate correlation demonstrates that there is a significant positive correlation between social intelligence and turning against objects; projection; and principalization. A significant negative correlation was found between social intelligence and turning against self and reversal. Bivariate correlation between Social Intelligence and Coping Strategies showed a significant negative correlation between escape avoidance and seeking social support. Linear regression showed 43% of the variance in Social Intelligence was depicted by Defense Mechanism and Coping strategies taken together.Keywords
