The study aims to illustrate the role of community involvement (Staunton, 2001) and religious involvement (Koenig, et al., 2015) on social intelligence (Silvera et al., 2001). To meet the objectives, 232 male and 259 female were randomly selected from different districts within Mizoram. Independent sample t-test revealed: (a) males to show greater scores than females on social information processing and social skills, the reverse on social awareness; and (b) young adults to show greater scores than late adults on social information processing and social awareness, and the reverse on social skills. To address the target objective of the study, stepwise regression was employed. Social information processing emerged to be significantly predictable from community involvement, religious involvement and age-group; social skills emerged to be significantly predictable from religious involvement and gender; and social awareness emerged to be significantly predictable from community involvement, gender and age-group. The predictability of social information processing and social awareness from community involvement and age-group as well as social skills from religious involvement were discussed in the light of socialization processes, developmental processes and gender variation.
