Weis, Susanne (2008): Theory and measurement of social intelligence as a cognitive performance construct.

Abstract: Examined social intelligence as a construct within the nomological network of existing human-ability constructs. Social intelligence is first discussed within a structural performance model that distinguishes between social understanding, social memory, social perception, and social creativity as the cognitive ability domains. This model also includes a hierarchal assumption in terms of a higher-order social-intelligence factor, and taxonomic considerations are applied that identify additional classificatory principles in definitions of social intelligence. Then, the development of a test battery to assess social intelligence in the operational ability domains (social understanding, social memory, and social perception) is presented. The multitrait-multimethod design included written and spoken language, pictures, and videos, and all tasks were systematically varied in terms of setting as well as number of people involved in situations. Thereafter, 2 empirical studies are presented that were conducted with 126 university students (mean age 21 years) and 182 adults (mean age 28 years), respectively. In both studies, participants completed the test battery of social intelligence, as well as German versions of the Berlin Intelligence Structure Test (BIS-Test), NEO-FFI, a simple reaction time task, a mouse speed task, Readspeed, the Social Behavior Questionnaire (FBS), and a biographical questionnaire. In addition, the participants in Study 2 completed a long-term memory task, an exhaustion questionnaire, the German version of the Social Emotional Intelligence Scale, an empathy questionnaire, the altruism scale of the German version of the FPI-R, and a depression questionnaire. The purpose of the studies was to examine the psychometric properties of social intelligence tasks and to examine construct validity of social intelligence. Results showed sufficient reliability, and a two-factor structural model of social intelligence was confirmed with correlated factors of social understanding and memory. No higher-order general social-intelligence factor was supported in Study 2. Social-intelligence factors were discernible from academic intelligence, whereas the social-memory factor correlated with BIS memory scores. Few gender effects were observed in both studies in favor of women. The results are discussed in regards to their consequences for the social-intelligence construct and the test approach as well as the underlying taxonomic considerations. Finally, considerations about test modifications and extensions are addressed.

Laireiter, -a.-R. (1996): Inventory of Socially Supportive Behaviors - Deutsche Fassung. Inventar Sozial Unterstuetzender Verhaltensweisen

Abstract: Diagnostische Zielsetzung: Das ISSB-d erfasst die erhaltene soziale Unterstuetzung im Alltag als Selbstbeurteilungsverfahren und kann zur raschen Erfassung der erhaltenen Unterstuetzung im Rahmen epidemiologischer Studien eingesetzt werden. Das Inventar soll nicht zur Erfassung belastungsbezogener Unterstuetzung eingesetzt werden, da die Items fuer diesen Zweck zu unspezifisch sind. Beim Einsatz im Verbund der SSU (SS-A-d, ISEL-d, ISSB-d) kann sowohl die erhaltene als auch die wahrgenommene Unterstuetzung im Alltag waehrend des letzten Monats untersucht werden.
