Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to test validity and reliability of the Tromso Social Intelligence Scale when the scale was applied to Korean college students.
Methods
A methodological study design with the exploratory factor analysis and correlational coefficients has been used. The Tromso social intelligence scale which had been developed by Slivera et. al. (2001) was translated into Korean and the scale has been administered to 460 undergraduate students. The data were analyzed by SPSS v. 12.0. Principal component factor analysis was used to evaluate the construct validity and, Cronbach's a was used to evaluate the internal consistency.
Results
The factor analysis showed that 3 factors having highest variances were explaining 40.626 % of total variance and the corresponding factors were 'Social awareness’, 'Social skills’, and 'Social cue inference’, respectively. The internal consistency was acceptable(a=,795).
Conclusions
The above results show that the Tromso Social Intelligence Scale is useful to apply to Korean subjects, but follow-up studies are needed to test the criterion and concurrent validity.
