The Degree of Social Intelligence of Medical University Students

Abstract

   The future doctor has quite high requirements for the level of professional knowledge, skills, and individual and personal qualities. For a doctor, it becomes important to form a professional and social culture of a specialist. One of the important competencies of a doctor is the possibility of social cognition and interaction in society with different categories of citizens, which is largely due to social intelligence.
   The aim of the study was to study the severity of social intelligence of medical university students.
   The article presents a theoretical analysis of the concept of "social intelligence", describes the approaches to understanding this phenomenon. As a result of an empirical study, it was revealed that the level of development of social intelligence of the majority of students corresponds to the average. Students are able to understand the motives of people's behavior through logical reasoning, can predict the behavior of others, are able to understand the meaning of verbal and non-verbal expression, on the basis of which they can show role plasticity. The most well-formed are the abilities to logical generalization, to identify essential features in various nonverbal reactions and patterns of the interlocutor, to understand the change in the meaning of similar verbal reactions of a person depending on the context of the situation that caused them. Despite this, difficulties in students manifest themselves at the level of integration of the abovedescribed abilities in complex, ambiguous situations, with a mismatch of the verbal and non-verbal context, and in the medical profession such situations are not uncommon. The profession of a doctor puts forward quite high requirements for the skills of effective interaction, planning, control and correction of their activities, often in a limited time frame for decision - making. Therefore, the formation of social intelligence already at the training stage is of practical importance.
