Abstract

This study examines the infuence of linguistic intelligence on social intelligence. Sample for the study includes I52 urban secondary school students (77 boys and 75 girls) from muslim minority community, of class IX of Vikas High School, Edi Bazar Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The data for measuring Social Intelligence is collected using Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) developed by Silvera et al. (200I)1. Linguistic Intelligence is measured using the GPA score of the students in the latest formative evaluation of languages (Hindi, Telugu and English). SPSS Ver.23 is used to measure the regression coeffcient and squared regression coeffcient. The correlation coeffcient between linguistic and social intelligences is r=0.507 (sig. at a=0.0I). The simple linear regression coeffcient of the two variables is R=0.507(p=0.000) and adj. squared regression coeffcient R2=0.252(p=0.000). The role of gender is found to be strong on both the variables and hence partial correlation is conducted blocking the infuence on gender on them. The partial correlation coeffcient is r12.3=0.387 (p=0.000). In the light of these evidences, there is a highly statistically signifcant, positive in nature and strong in magnitude relationship of linguistic intelligence and social intelligence in school students of VIIIth and IXth standards. Girls from muslim community are found to be more linguistically and socially intelligent than boys with point biserial correlation coeffcients between gender and linguistic intelligence being r=0.705 (sig. at a=0.0I) and between gender and social intelligence being r=0.355 (sig. at a=0.0I), respectively. The Educational implications are discussed in the light of the fndings of Sacher committee report.
