Abstract :

This study aimed to investigate the role of the components of social intelligence and social isolation in academic well-being among students. The research method was descriptive and correlational. The population consisted of all students enrolled in Tabriz city secondary schools in the 2019-2020 academic year that according to Krejcie and Morgan table, 370 students (197 girls and 173 boys)  were selected by the multistage cluster sampling method. Instruments were Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (Silvera et al, 2001), Social Isolation (Modarresi Yazdi, 2014) and Academic Well-being (Tuominen-Soini et al, 2012). Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis (stepwise). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the components of social intelligence and social isolation could significantly predict all components of academic well-being (p<0/05). Social intelligence and social isolation play an important role in academic well-being among students. Therefore, in educational programs for the increase of academic well-being among students, social intelligence and social isolation require more attention.
