BackgroundDeveloping critical thinking is important in nursing as it supports basic cognitive processes; however, students may have difficulty developing these skills due to high academic and clinical stress. Social intelligence and stress management are seen as critical for clinical success and quality of care.AimThis study aimed to investigate the effects of a structured critical thinking education course on nursing students’ critical thinking dispositions, social intelligence levels, and nursing education-related stress.MethodsA quasi-experimental design with pretest–posttest control groups was employed. The study included 66 first-year undergraduate nursing students. The intervention group received a 14-week structured critical thinking education course.ResultsPosttest Critical Thinking Disposition Scores were statistically significant from pretest scores (p = .004). No significant changes were seen in the mean scores of Social Intelligence and Nursing Education Stress. There was a moderate positive correlation between Critical Thinking Disposition and the Social Intelligence Scale subscales.ConclusionThe findings suggest that integrating critical thinking education into nursing curricula may enhance students’ cognitive and social competencies. While stress levels were not significantly reduced, improved systematic thinking was linked to lower perceived stress, indicating the potential of critical thinking strategies to strengthen essential nursing skills and stress resilience.

Background and Aim: Bullying is a widespread disaster throughout school years which almost one-third of students are faced with. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the role of the determinants of moral and social intelligence components on the bullying of students. Materials and Methods : This study was a descriptive-correlational research. The population study consisted of all students studying in Ahar public and private high schools in the 2017-2018 academic years. According to Krejcie and Morgan table, 359 students were entered to the study who selected by cluster sampling method. Data collection was done using Lennick and Kiel ’ s moral intelligence questionnaire, Tromso ’ s social intelligence scale and the Illinois ’ s bullying scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS software Ver.22 as well as statistical tests of Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression. Findings : The mean scores of moral intelligence and social intelligence of the students were high and their bullying rate was low. Pearson correlation coefficient showed that all determinants of the moral intelligence and social intelligence had a significant negative correlation with the bullying components (P<0/01). Also, multiple regression analysis showed that the components of moral intelligence and social intelligence could significantly predict the bullying components in the students. Conclusion: Findings showed that moral intelligence and social intelligence play an important role in reducing the bullying in students. Therefore, it is recommended that improving the students’ social intelligence and moral intelligence be paid attention in any policy-making and planning to reduce students' bullying and their dropout.

The current study aimed to determine the level of social intelligence and feeling of happiness among students of the faculty of educational sciences and arts / UNRWA as a function of gender, students’ seniority and grade point average (GPA). The study also aimed to investigate students’ social intelligence as a predictor of feeling of happiness. The study sample consisted of 219 male and female students that were selected randomly. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used two scales; the social intelligence scale designed by Silvera, Martinussen and Dahl (2001). The scale was translated by the researcher. The feeling of happiness scale which was developed by Abdulkhaliq et a]. (2003) was also used. The results showed that undergraduate students’ social intelligence and feeling of happiness were at the average. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in social intelligence and feeling of happiness among students attributable to their gender, seniority and GPA. Results also showed that social intelligence in the two dimensions (social information processing and social interpersonal skills) were predictive of the feeling of happiness among students of the faculty of the educational science and arts / UNRWA.

A predictive structural model for gifted students' performance: A study based on intelligence and its implicit theories

The problems of social interaction person with environment began to emerge to the forefront because of socio-economic changes in Russia. The analysis of the situation points to a number of factors influencing the development of socialization and social-cultural adaptation. The goal of the article is to highlight the relationship between of success of educational activities with the level of social intelligence. Social intelligence is regarded as individually-personal property of the person, which you can not only diagnose, but also to develop. We carried out a study on the relationship between the success of the training and levels of development of social intelligence of students. The study involved 140 students from various universities of Naberezhnye Chelny: 70 students of the first year students and 70-graduates. For evaluating the success of training, we used data of the last session, for the evaluation of social intelligence; we used the adaptive test of M. Sallivan and J. Guildford «Social intelligence». So we can assert that there is a connection between the success of the training activities and the level of social intelligence.

Online social networking can influence and support holistic health, by supporting social communication. People have different health conditions at different ages of life. To maintain healthy living, it is necessary to increase health services for people. Hence, this research tries to find out user adoption of online social networking, regarding health information. We apply the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to test user adoption of social networking related to healthy living. We propose that Perceived Value should be included in the UTAUT model for testing user adoption of health related social networking. Besides traditional moderators (i.e. gender, age, experience, and voluntariness of use), we propose that Personality traits should be considered as additional moderator in this context. With the proposed model, designer of health related social networking can gain better understanding of determinates and moderators with significant effect on user adoption of health related social networking. From 30 random subjects, it is found that perceive value is significant determinants. Users will adopt social networking fast or slow, depending on Personality traits.

Recently, research on social network and Web intelligence (WI) has shown that social intelligence techniques act as the imperative channel for automated email-centric tasks. This paper gives a complete picture of what can we do in the global social e-mail network and how to do. Our main contributions include: (1) we describe two mechanisms for implementing applications in the global social e-mail network; (2) we design operable e-mail for communicating in that network. To our best knowledge, it is the first time to discuss how to implement social intelligence in such a network under the notion of WI. We believe that this work consequentially explores a new and absolutely necessarily needed research field of WI

The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of art therapy on school anxiety, loneliness, and social intelligence of first to third grade elementary school children. The research was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest design and a control group. The statistical population consisted of all first to third grade elementary school children in District 1 of Karaj City during the 2024–2025 academic year, of whom 30 participants were purposefully selected and randomly assigned into two groups: experimental (15) and control (15). Data were collected using the Phillips School Anxiety Questionnaire (1987), the Asher et al. Loneliness Scale (1984), and the Silvera et al. Social Intelligence Scale (2001). The art therapy protocol, adapted from the interventions of Landgarten (2013), Liebmann (2015), and Sherwood (2014), was implemented in 10 weekly sessions of 80 minutes each for the experimental group. The control group did not receive any intervention, and at the end of the sessions, a posttest was administered to both groups. For data analysis, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Shapiro–Wilk test, multivariate analysis of covariance) were employed using SPSS software. Based on the findings, there were significant differences between the adjusted means of the experimental and control groups in the studied variables—school anxiety, loneliness, and social intelligence. Specifically, art therapy led to a significant reduction in school anxiety and loneliness and a significant increase in social intelligence among first to third grade elementary school children. Therefore, it can be concluded that art therapy has an effect on school anxiety, loneliness, and social intelligence in first to third grade elementary school children.
