Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the prediction of social intelligence based on the study style and academic performance of secondary school students in Shiraz. The statistical population of this study included all high school students of second year of Shiraz who were studying in the academic year 1398-1397. The statistical sample of this study consisted of 200 people who were selected through multi-stage cluster sampling. Two schools were randomly selected from four educational districts of Shiraz, two boys 'high schools and two girls' high schools were randomly selected from each district, and one class was randomly selected from each school. Tromso's social intelligence questionnaires, Pham's and Taylor's academic performance questionnaires, and Marton's and Seljo's study styles questionnaires were administered to them. The data were analyzed using regression and stepwise method. The results showed that study style had a positive relationship with social intelligence levels. The dimensions of being interested in topics, progress and success, and monitoring effectiveness are positively correlated with levels of social intelligence. Academic performance is positively correlated with levels of social intelligence.
