MODIFICATION OF THE TROMSØ SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE SCALE FOR THE RUSSIAN SCHOOL PUPILS
Abstract
The goal of the present study was a modification of the technique SI Tromsø for Russian-speaking population of schoolchildren and adolescents. The results of the application of confirmatory factor analysis stated a two-factor structure of the questionnaire, which is reproduced without changes in different age and sex samples of school pupils. The corresponding subscales of the modified questionnaire were identified as «Social awareness» and «Social skills». These subscales have a fairly high reliability for internal consistency within their items for different sex-age groups. We investigated sex and age differences of the school pupils on these subscales: the highest values on both subscales observed in boys of 9–11 years; for girls the highest values were observed on the subscale of «Social skills» at 7–8 years, the lowest at 12–13 years. Th e values on both subscales are positively correlated with sociometric status of schoolchildren (7–11 years), for adolescents such a connection is not detected. Test standards developed for the subscales of questionnaire SI Tromsø for Russian pupils of 7–16 years. Refs 26. Figs 2. Tables 9.
