Social Intelligence is the ability to get along well with others, and to get them to cooperate with you. Sometimes referred to simplistically as "people skills," SI includes an awareness of situations and the social dynamics that govern them, and a knowledge of interaction styles and strategies that can help a person achieve his or her objectives in dealing with others. It also involves a certain amount of self-insight and a consciousness of one's own perceptions and reaction patterns. The world Health Organization (WHO) defines adolescence as the period of life between 10 to 19 years of age. In the study of child development, adolescence refers to the second decade of the life span, roughly from ages 10 to 20. The purpose of this study was to compare the social intelligence of rural and urban adolescents. Total 300 participants were assigned randomly from the population. 150 adolescents from rural areas of villages in Rajasthan including Sangasni, Birami, Sajara and Peshawas. 150 adolescents from Jodhpur rural area. The age range between 16 to 18 years. It was hypothesised that urban and rural adolescents may differ on social intelligence. The social intelligence scale was developed by Dr S. Mathur. Results showed significant difference between social intelligence of urban and rural adolescents. Comparison between both the groups, rural adolescents found to be more socially intelligent.
