Method: The research was applied in terms of purpose and terms of data analysis method, it was a correlation. The statistical population of the study included all 9040 female high school students in Sari. The sample size was selected by 370 people using a multi-stage cluster random sampling method based on Krejcie and Morgan's table. Data were collected using the standard Begetto (2006) Creative Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Silvera, et al.'s (2001) Social Intelligence Questionnaire, and Garnowski & Craig's (2007) Cognitive Emotion Self-Regulation. Spearman correlation coefficient and structural equation model with spss and pls software were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that social intelligence, directly and indirectly, affects students' cognitive self-regulation of positive emotions (Adaptive strategies) and negative (maladaptive strategies) students through the mediating variable of creative self-efficacy (P <0.01).
Conclusion: According to the research findings, social intelligence as successful interaction skills and creative self-efficacy as a belief in their capabilities and abilities play an important role in emotion regulation. Therefore, training courses must be conducted to improve the ability to identify feelings and emotions.

Abstract The aim of this study was Investigating the effect of risk perception, self-efficacy and social problem solving on helpful behaviors according to the mediating role of social intelligence. The design of the present study was a descriptive correlational study and the statistical population of the study included all helping people in the flood of 1398 in Khuzestan. In order to determine the sample size, Cochran's formula based on undefined population was used and 387 people were selected by cluster sampling. Based on this, the city of Khuzestan was divided into 5 geographical regions including north, south, east, west and center. Then, a flooded area was randomly selected from each area, and in each area, two flood camps were selected and referred to it, and non-damaged subjects were randomly referred to these centers for assistance,were selected. Data collection tools included the Derakhshande Nia and Nouri Aid Behavior Questionnaire (1384), Bintin Risk Perception (1993), Scherer Self-Efficacy (1982), Dezorella et al.'s (2002) Social Problem Solving, and Termiso social intelligence (2001). In order to test the research hypotheses, the statistical method of path analysis was used with the help of SPSS and AMOS software version 22. The results of indirect coefficients in path analysis showed that social intelligence cannot play a mediating role in the relationship between the three variables of risk perception, self-efficacy and social problem solving with helping behaviors (p> 0.05) and only direct coefficients Perception of risk, self-efficacy and social problem solving were confirmed by helping behaviors (P <0.05).

Abstract Introduction: One of the major problems of socially anxious individuals is their inability to identify mental states. The present study was designed and conducted to investigate the role of social intelligence and mind reading in predicting social anxiety based on the Clark and Wells model.
Method: For this purpose, a sample of 218 adult men and women by Social Anxiety questionnaire (SAQ), Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS), Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) and Reading the Mind in the Voice Test (RMVT) Were evaluated. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results of Pearson correlation showed that there is a significant negative relationship between social intelligence and its components and reading the mind through the eyes with social anxiety. In addition, there is a significant positive relationship between social intelligence and reading the mind through the eyes. However, no significant relationship was found between reading the mind through the voice with social anxiety and social intelligence. Regression results showed that the components of social skills and social awareness of social intelligence as well as mind reading through the eyes are able to significantly predict 37% of the variance of social anxiety.
Conclusion: Overall, it can be concluded that socially anxious individuals are weaker in the components of social intelligence and the ability to reading the minds by observing others, an issue that should be considered in recognizing and treating social anxiety.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to predict social loneliness based on interpersonal sensitivity and social intelligence through self-critical mediation. The research design was correlation. The statistical population of this study was all of the students of Azad University of Tehran in 1397. The sample size of this study was 632 people who were selected by multistage cluster sampling. The Data collection tools were loneliness questionnaire (Russell, 1996), an interpersonal sensitivity questionnaire (Boyce & Popper, 1989), Social Intelligence Questionnaire (Tet, 2008) and Self-Critical Scale (Gilbert, Hampson, Miles & Irons, 2004. Data was analyzed with two SPSS and lisrel software. The data analysis method was structural equation modeling. The findings showed that the variables of self-critical and interpersonal sensitivity were significantly increased on these two constructs (T> 1.96). Self-critical effect on positive and significant social self-sufficiency, the effect of interpersonal sensitivity and social intelligence on social self sufficiency is negative and significant. Also, the effect of interpersonal sensitivity on positive and meaningful social loneliness and the effect of social intelligence on self-critical negativity and meaning. The effect of indirect structure of interpersonal sensitivity on social loneliness is positive and significant due to the self-critical variable, but the effect of indirect structure of social intelligence on loneliness is not critical and meaningful due to its own variable. The structural effects of the overall interpersonal sensitivity on social, positive and meaningful loneliness, and structural effects of the whole social intelligence on the loneliness of society are also negative and significant.

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the prosociality and soial inteligence between students according to their handedness has been investigated.
