Rezonanța intervenției terapeutice în profilul socio emoțional al adolescenților proveniți din familii monoparentale

Abstract

According to Thorndike, social intelligence is represented by the ability to understand and work with people (Cantor 2000) [4]. Other theorists at the time indexed social intelligence as sensitivity to social stimuli and cues, viewing it as a kind of insight into the disposition of others, as an X-ray of their temperaments and personalities (Strang 1933, Wedeck 1947, Wechsler 1958, apud Cantor, 2000) [4]. Currently, specialists define social intelligence as: "the individual's fund of knowledge about the social world "(Kihlstrom and Cantor 2000) [10]. Other researchers say that social intelligence would represent: "...a person's ability to understand interpersonal situations and transactions and to use this understanding to help a person achieve a desired interpersonal outcome (...) social intelligence can be considered as cognitive anchor for social competence and is an important factor contributing to the success of social activities such as work and interpersonal relationships " (Greenspan and Love, 1997) [9]. The common thrust of these definitions is that social intelligence is that knowledge or understanding that a person needs to function effectively and comfortably for himself and others in society. Specialists believe that social intelligence is not of purely cognitive origin, because it represents the ability to act wisely in human relationships, so it was proposed that it be defined rather by terms such as social knowledge and social facilitation (Goleman, 2006) [8]. Under the new umbrella of social knowledge we will find elements such as empathy (feeling like the other), but also non-verbal affective language, as for social facilitation, here we will discover the care of the individual towards the needs of others and his active behavior as a consequence of these need.
