A Study of Social Intelligence & Personality of B.Ed. Students of District

Abstract

The present study has focused on the relationship between personality and social intelligence of B.Ed. Students of various institutes in Bareilly District. A hundred students from the defined population have been selected for the B. Ed. course using the randomisation sampling technique. The most appropriate tool used for the study is the 1. 16 P.F. Questionnaire Hindi Edition developed by Dr S. D. Kapoor (1970). The test consists of 187 items. It includes 16 bipolar factors of personality. 2. Social Intelligence Scale (SIS) developed by N. K. Chadha and Usha Ganesan (1986). The test consists of 66 items divided into five parts, measuring eight dimensions of social intelligence. The study concludes that Social Intelligence positively correlates with Personality Factors A, B, I, N, O, Q1, Q3, and Q4. Conversely, it negatively correlates with Personality Factors C, E, F, G, H, L, M, and Q2. However, only the correlation values for factors B, F, I, and Q4 are significant among B.Ed. Students. Specifically, the findings suggest that Personality Factors B, F, I, and Q4 are interrelated with Social Intelligence in this population of students.
