Social Intelligence and General Health among School Teachers

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between social intelligence and the general health of school teachers. A simple random sample of 100 teachers (50 male, 50 female) from public schools was recruited. The Social intelligence scale (SIS) by Chadda and Ganeshn’s and general health questionnaire were administered among the teachers in their respective schools to obtain their responses on these scales. Statistical analyses such as mean, standard deviation, and t-tests were used to determine significant differences between groups. The results indicate that social intelligence has a significant impact on teachers’ general health. Furthermore, gender was found to be a significant factor influencing teachers’ well-being.
