Socio-emotional Skills and Collaborative Intelligence of University Students

Abstract

The present article aimed to determine the relationship between Socio-emotional Skills and Collaborative Intelligence in university students. Understanding this relationship is essential for the integral development of students. These competencies allow them to manage emotions, communicate effectively, work as a team, and adapt to changing environments, which favors performance, coexistence, and emotional well-being. In addition, they are highly valued in the workplace, as they strengthen the capacity for collaboration, leadership, and problem-solving. This is a non-experimental, causalexplanatory, cross-sectional research with a quantitative approach. The study was conducted on a non-random sample of 140 students from the Faculty of Business Sciences at the Private University of Tacna. A questionnaire with a Likert-type measurement scale was administered. The instrument was validated using Crombach's Alpha method, with the following values: (0.808) for Socio-emotional Skills and (0.923) for Collaborative Intelligence. The results indicate a strong relationship (C=0.908) between Socioemotional Skills and Collaborative Intelligence. It is concluded that statistical evidence confirms that Socioemotional Skills and Collaborative Intelligence are significantly related.
