In other words, the concept of social intelligence is the ability to act wisely with the social environment regardless of gender, temperament, and relationship. [1] Social intelligence is the ability that enables a person to understand the motives, feelings, and moods of others, and to deal with them correctly and appropriately. [2] Social intelligence role is important in the teaching profession, which is one of the professions that need a level of social intelligence, as social intelligence skills help the teacher to be understanding of the feelings of others and behave properly with them and work on helping others, as the socially intelligent individual is considered a better individual than others in recognizing his own emotions and those of others. [3] Quality of life (QoL) is a concept which aims to capture the wellbeing, whether of a population or individual, regarding both positive and negative elements within the entirety of their existence at a specific point in time. For example, common facets of QoL include personal health (physical, mental, and spiritual), relationships, education status, work environment, CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 3 social status, wealth, a sense of security and safety, freedom, autonomy in decision-making, social-belonging and their physical surroundings.[4] 1.2 Important of the study: This study attempts to find out the actual reality of university professors practicing social intelligence skills because of its importance, because it is related to the art of dealing between them and their fellow faculty members and students in light of human relations, improving social relations and activating communication and social interaction at the university. The importance of the study is also due to the status of university professors and their main role in achieving the goals of the university, in addition to the fact that attention to the component of the quality of life is considered one of the areas that should be focused on in studies because of its role in improving the level of performance of professors for their various roles, which leads to a decrease in the shortcomings in quality of university education outputs. 1.3 Objectives of the study: 1. To assess the level of social intelligence and quality of life among Instructors in University of Basrah 2. To explore the relationship between social intelligence and quality of life among Instructors in University of Basrah 3. To knowing the relationship between instructors’ level of social intelligence and their demographic characteristics such as age, gender, marital status, scientific qualification, work address, address, years of experience, and income level. CHAPTER TWO REVIEW OF LITERATURE Chapter Two Review of Literature 2.1 Historical Context of social intelligence and quality of life 5 | P a g e The theory of social intelligence was first brought to the forefront by American psychologist Edward Thorndike in 1920. He defined it as, “The ability to understand and manage men and women and boys and girls, to act wisely in human relations.” No one is born socially intelligent. Instead, it involves a set of skills that an individual learns over time.[5] Following World War II, numerous researchers built on the work of Thorndike and others to develop a more thorough understanding of cognitive development and individual behavior. The concept of Social Intelligence entered the academic and business mainstream in the 1980s as various papers and books were published. Psychologist Howard Gardner’s 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences differentiated intelligence into specific ‘modalities’, rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. He identified eight modalities including logical, visual, intrapersonal and interpersonal. The intrapersonal and interpersonal modalities are closely aligned with what today we call emotional intelligence and more broadly Social Intelligence [6] In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, work on social intelligence became closely linked to research on autism. It has been argued that one of the main deficits in autism and other disorders on the autism spectrum is a lack of proper development of social intelligence or expertise in dealing with people. This line of work on social intelligence is related to the “theory of mind,” which typically refers to a specific cognitive capacity to 6 | understand that others have beliefs, desires, and intentions that are different P a from one’s own.[7] g Academic interest in quality of life grew after World War II, when there e CHAPTER TWO REVIEW OF LITERATURE was increasing awareness and recognition of social inequalities. This provided the impetus for social indicators research and subsequently for research on subjective well-being and quality of life. The patient’s view of his or her own health had long played some role in medical consultation; however, in terms of the health care literature, researchers did not begin collecting and reporting such data systematically until the 1960s[8] The concept of quality of life emerged in the 1970s as an important new outcome for health care. which quality of life served as a powerful rhetorical device which was invoked for ‘solving’ major social and medical problems and dilemmas. Over the last two decades the measurement of health-related quality of life has had a major impact on the evaluation of health care and medical interventions. [9] For the World Health Organization (WHO), they proposed in 1947 an implicit concept of quality of life, and this concept was healthcare-oriented when health was defined as a state of good health that includes physiological, mental and social aspects and not necessarily the absence of disease. This term remained until 1978, when the World Health Organization (WHO) expanded the term and explained that individuals have the right to psychological care and an appropriate quality of life[10] Alexander, he pointed out that the first beginnings of the concept of quality of life were with its use as a synonym for progress, human well-being and quality of life in terms of economic progress, which made researchers use 7 | objective indicators, such as per capita national income. industrial production P a and consumption rates[11] g (2000: 24, Snoek) states that the first clear approach to the concept was e CHAPTER TWO REVIEW OF LITERATURE by American economists Samuel Ordway (1953) and Fairfield Osborn (1954), who articulated by using this concept to express their concern over environmental risks to economic and industrial growth. Snoek (2000) believes that during the 1960s, social scientists became more interested in the question of quality of life or quality of life, especially the relationships between economic and social indicators of quality of life, but once the decade of the 1960s came to an end, the concept of quality of life took a completely different turn to express the opposition movement, It is the rejection of a consumer society. [12] 2.2 Social Intelligence 2.2.1. Definition of social intelligence Definitions of social intelligence varied and multiplied: Othman and Hassan define it as: “The individual’s ability to perceive personal relationships, and his ability to influence others in the event of interaction with others, which leads to social harmony and the achievement of the individual’s short and long goals[13] Social intelligence can be defined as the ability to control emotions and feelings; therefore it can aid mental activities, decision making and communication. Social intelligence is one of the first choices in completing the traditional concepts of capability [14] 8 | 2.2.2. Components Of Social Intelligence P a Social intelligence indicates that to what extent managers possess g capabilities like social skills, social information processing, social awareness, e CHAPTER TWO REVIEW OF LITERATURE and social desirability.[14]. • Social skills are key factors in recognition of points of strength and weakness. All the units that have this ability including managers, leaders, and experts are continuously looking for receiving feedback on their performance and learn from their failures • Processing social information reflects a person's ability in regulating distressing emotions like anxiety or nervousness and managing such situations. • Social awareness; an individual through becoming aware of others' feelings, tastes, and needs identifies the paradoxical situations, and makes use of this source of information to establish a good relationship with them. Goleman believes that understanding others' feeling while making decision and ethical judgments is of high value and lack of sympathy is a fundamental shortcoming in social intelligence [15] • Social desirability; this component denotes how to interact with individuals in the emotional situations which is also referred as social skill. Goleman holds that the individuals who intend to build relationships with others effectively need to have the ability to distinguish, separate, and control their feelings. Only through having superior social skills, the individuals know where and when to show emotional state[16] 9 | 2.2.3. Dimensions Of Social Intelligence P a There are four Dimensions of social intelligence include:[17] g e 1-The ability to plan socially: Planning processes are likely to be one of the CHAPTER TWO REVIEW OF LITERATURE basic features of social intelligence, and may explain (25%) to (30%) of the variation in measures of effective social behavior. 2- Perceptions of control and perceptions of competence: that individuals who perceive themselves as competent and control work more than others have internal control and tend to make a great effort to control their environments. 3- Empathy: It refers to the degree of empathy for others when seeing them in an unpleasant situation or in a problem. 4- Directing goals: those who give priority to social goals and direct them are more socially efficient and socially intelligent than those who give priority to non-social goals. 2.2.4. Signs of Social Intelligence People who are socially intelligent display core traits that help them communicate and connect with others.[18] ❖ Effective Listening: A person who possesses social intelligence doesn’t listen merely to respond but truly pays attention to what a person is saying. The other folks in the conversation walk away feeling like they were understood and that they made a connection. ❖ Conversational Skills: Have you ever seen someone “work the room?” They have conversational skills that enable them to carry on a discussion with practically anybody. [18] 10 | ❖ Reputation Management: Socially intelligent people consider the P a impression that they make on other people. Considered one of the most g complex elements of social intelligence, managing a reputation requires e careful balance—a person must thoughtfully create an impression on CHAPTER TWO REVIEW OF LITERATURE another person while still being authentic. ❖ Lack of Arguing: Someone with social intelligence understands that arguing or proving a point by making another person feel bad isn’t the way to go. They don’t outright reject another person’s ideas, but rather listen to them with an open mind—even when it’s not an idea that they personally agree with. 2.2.5. How to Develop Social Intelligence While some people may seem to develop social intelligence without really trying, others have to work to develop it. Luckily, certain strategies can help a person build social skills. These tactics can help you develop social intelligence [19] • Pay close attention to what (and who) is around you. Socially intelligent people are observant and pay attention to subtle social cues from those around them.[20] • Work on increasing your emotional intelligence. Although similar to social intelligence, emotional intelligence is more about how you control your own emotions and how you empathize with others. It requires recognizing when you’re experiencing an emotion—which will help you recognize that emotion in others—and regulating them appropriately. An emotionally intelligent person can recognize and control negative feelings, such as frustration or anger, when in a social setting [21] 11 | • Respect cultural differences. More than that, seek out cultural P a differences so you can understand them. Although most people learn g people skills from their family, friends and the community surrounding e them, a socially intelligent person understands that others might have CHAPTER TWO REVIEW OF LITERATURE different responses and customs based on their upbringing. • Practice active listening. Develop your social intelligence by working on your communication skills—which requires active listening. [22] Don’t interrupt. Take time to think about what someone else is saying before you respond. Listen to the inflections in what others say, which can give you clues to what they really mean. • Appreciate the important people in your life. Socially intelligent people have deep relationships with people who are meaningful to them. Pay attention to the emotions of your spouse and children, friends, coworkers, and other peers. If you ignore the closest people in your life, you’re missing the cues on how to connect with them. 2.3. Quality Of Life 2.3.1. Definition of quality of life: Quality of life (QOL) is defined by the World Health Organization as "an individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns".[23] Standard indicators of the quality of life include wealth, employment, the environment, physical and mental health, education, recreation and leisure time, social belonging, religious beliefs, safety, security and freedom.[24] QOL has a wide range of contexts, including the fields of international development, healthcare, politics and employment. Health 12 | related QOL (HRQOL) is an evaluation of QOL and its relationship with P a health.[25] g 2.3.2. The factors, dimensions of quality of life e CHAPTER TWO REVIEW OF LITERATURE The main problem is that there is no universal quality of life determination. Quality of life is influenced by an individual’s physical and mental health, the degree of independency, the social relationship with the environment, and other factors [26] Quality of life also depends on external f actors. Good living conditions or circumstances will determine high quality of life, but if these conditions vary, the individual’s satisfaction with his or her quality of life will vary too. Quality of life is influenced by many various factors and conditions, such as: accommodation, employment, income, material welfare moral attitudes, personal and family life, social support, stress and crises, health-related quality of life, health care service, working conditions, nourishment, education opportunities, relationships with the environment, eco-factors, and others. The domains of quality of life are [26]: 1. Physical state (health, working load, stamina, nourishment); 2. Material state (welfare, living conditions, economics quality; average income, purchasing power, work and recreation conditions, etc.); 3. Psychological state (emotions, attitudes, values, self-esteem, job satisfaction, stress; moral psychological climate within the family, an organization, the community, the nation); 4. Education and self-development (learning, education quality, skills and application of knowledge) 13 | 5. Social relation (relationship with people, family, society, support); P a 6. Self-expression possibilities and leisure (recreation, hobby, creation, g entertainment); e CHAPTER TWO REVIEW OF LITERATURE 7. Safety and environment (physical persona l security – body, legal, social; work environment, economic, political, juridical environment) CHAPTER THREE METHODOLOGY Chapter Three Methodology 3.1.
