(2013): New findings about social intelligence. Development and application of the Magdeburg Test of Social Intelligence (MTSI). In: Journal of Individual Differences 34 (3), S. 119-137. DOI: 10.1027/1614-0001/a000106
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1027/1614-0001/a000106 Abstract: Social intelligence (SI) is an ability construct with a long history in scientific psychology which has yet to be clearly established. SI tests show low convergent validity and can hardly be distinguished from academic intelligence. This may be the result of conceptual ambiguity and a lack of reliable and valid performance tests that apply nonverbal stimuli. The Magdeburg Test of Social Intelligence (MTSI) is a new multimedia-based performance test battery relying on a potential-based concept of SI. It presently comprises subtests for social understanding, social memory, and social perception, each of which is measured with real auditory, video-based, pictorial, and verbal task material. It applies target scoring to the social understanding tasks. Two studies with 127 and 190 participants, respectively, examined the psychometric properties and construct validity of the MTSI. Discriminant construct validation was conducted with well-established academic intelligence and personality tests. The findings revealed satisfactory psychometric properties for nearly all of the 22 tasks. A general SI and a social perception factor were not substantiated. Social understanding was separate from academic intelligence, whereas social memory and social perception tasks showed systematic correlations with academic intelligence. The SI tasks were not systematically related to personality traits.

(2009): Die Intelligence and Development Scale Sozial-Emotionale Kompetenz (IDS-SEK). Psychometrische Eigenschaften eines Tests zur Erfassung sozial-emotionaler Fähigkeiten. In: Diagnostica 55 (4), S. 234-244. DOI: 10.1026/0012-1924.55.4.234
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924.55.4.234 Abstract: Tested psychometric properties of the Intelligence and Development Scales Sozial-Emotionale Kompetenz Skala (IDS-SEK). To address a lack of adequate measures for capturing the social-emotional abilities of children, the IDS-SEK was constructed. The test measures social-emotional abilities on the dimensions (1) Emotion Recognition (EE), (2) Emotion Regulation (ER), (3) Understanding of Social Situations (SV), and (4) Social-Operation Competence (SH). Results of studies conducted with 839 5- to 10-year-olds from Switzerland support the scale's construct and criterion validity. Comparisons (matched for age, sex, and intelligence quotient) of children without behavioural problems, with Asperger syndrome (n = 38), and with aggressive-behavioral problems (n = 57) provided additional proof of the scale's differentiation ability. It is concluded that the IDS-SEK is well suited to measure capabilities and deficits in the social-emotional domain in a multidimensional way and can be used as the basis of specific interventions.

(2008): Theory and measurement of social intelligence as a cognitive performance construct.
Abstract: Examined social intelligence as a construct within the nomological network of existing human-ability constructs. Social intelligence is first discussed within a structural performance model that distinguishes between social understanding, social memory, social perception, and social creativity as the cognitive ability domains. This model also includes a hierarchal assumption in terms of a higher-order social-intelligence factor, and taxonomic considerations are applied that identify additional classificatory principles in definitions of social intelligence. Then, the development of a test battery to assess social intelligence in the operational ability domains (social understanding, social memory, and social perception) is presented. The multitrait-multimethod design included written and spoken language, pictures, and videos, and all tasks were systematically varied in terms of setting as well as number of people involved in situations. Thereafter, 2 empirical studies are presented that were conducted with 126 university students (mean age 21 years) and 182 adults (mean age 28 years), respectively. In both studies, participants completed the test battery of social intelligence, as well as German versions of the Berlin Intelligence Structure Test (BIS-Test), NEO-FFI, a simple reaction time task, a mouse speed task, Readspeed, the Social Behavior Questionnaire (FBS), and a biographical questionnaire. In addition, the participants in Study 2 completed a long-term memory task, an exhaustion questionnaire, the German version of the Social Emotional Intelligence Scale, an empathy questionnaire, the altruism scale of the German version of the FPI-R, and a depression questionnaire. The purpose of the studies was to examine the psychometric properties of social intelligence tasks and to examine construct validity of social intelligence. Results showed sufficient reliability, and a two-factor structural model of social intelligence was confirmed with correlated factors of social understanding and memory. No higher-order general social-intelligence factor was supported in Study 2. Social-intelligence factors were discernible from academic intelligence, whereas the social-memory factor correlated with BIS memory scores. Few gender effects were observed in both studies in favor of women. The results are discussed in regards to their consequences for the social-intelligence construct and the test approach as well as the underlying taxonomic considerations. Finally, considerations about test modifications and extensions are addressed.

(2006): Soziale Kompetenz und Emotionale Intelligenz. In: Qualitätssicherung und Evaluation in Personalauswahl und Eignungsbeurteilung. Riezlern-Reader XV, S. 176-191
Abstract: Die gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen stellen hohe Anforderungen an die Anpassung eines Menschen an seine soziale Umwelt. In diesem Zusammenhang, auch im Berufsleben, sind die Konstrukte Soziale Kompetenz und Emotionale Intelligenz von Bedeutung. Soziale Kompetenz wird dabei definiert als das Bestreben einer möglichst gleichmäßigen Verwirklichung der Interessen aller beteiligten Personen. Die Ausführungen zu diesem Konstrukt beziehen sich u. a. auf: Definition und Abgrenzung, Strukturen, Modelle über die Entstehung von gezielt sozial kompetentem Verhalten, verwandte Begriffe (Soziale Intelligenz, Interpersonale Kompetenz). Emotionale Intelligenz ist letztlich ein Unterbereich der Sozialen Kompetenz und bezieht sich auf den Gesichtspunkt des Gefühls im sozialen Kontext. Die Ausführungen zu diesem Konstrukt beziehen sich auf: Definition, gebräuchliche Erhebungsverfahren (Fragebogenverfahren, Rollenspiele, "In vivo" Test, Videotechniken und computergestützte Verfahren). Vorteile und mögliche Einschränkungen der Verfahrensarten werden ausführlich diskutiert.

(2006) : Messkonzepte sozialer Intelligenz - Literaturübersicht und Ausblick In: Schulze, Ralf; Freund, Alexander; Roberts, Richard D. (Hg.): Emotionale Intelligenz. Ein internationales Handbuch: Göttingen: Hogrefe, S. 213-234
Abstract: Beschrieben werden theoretische und empirische Ansätze zur sozialen Intelligenz. Strukturbefunde und Ergebnisse zur Validität des Konstrukts werden zusammenfassend dargestellt und entlang der angewandten Messkonzepte geordnet. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Ergebnisunterschiede zu einem beachtlichen Teil durch die Varianz der Messmethoden erklärt werden können, weshalb multimodal-multimethodale Designs zur Kontrolle dieser ungewollten Varianzquelle notwendig erscheinen. In einem weiteren Abschnitt werden die vorliegenden kognitiven Fähigkeitskonzepte in ein facettentheoretisches Rahmenmodell der sozialen Intelligenz integriert, das die vier Komponenten soziales Verständnis, soziales Gedächtnis, soziale Wahrnehmung und soziale Kreativität unterscheidet. Erste empirische Ergebnisse werden berichtet, die das Modell unterstützen. Abschließend werden einige konzeptuelle und methodische Gesichtspunkte diskutiert, die für künftige Studien bedeutsam erscheinen: Die Notwendigkeit, die intendierten Konstrukte und die korrespondierenden Aufgabenanforderungen genau zu spezifizieren und präzise zu fassen, die Konstruktion von Testinstrumenten, die die Breite der intendierten Konstrukte adäquat repräsentieren sowie eine angemessene Validierungsstrategie, die neben der Prüfung von Konstrukt-Validität und prädiktiver Validität auch augenscheinlich verwandte Konstrukte wie die emotionale Intelligenz (EI) berücksichtigt.

(2005) : Social intelligence - A review and critical disucssion of measurement concepts In: Schulze, Ralf; Roberts, Richard D. (Hg.): Emotional intelligence. An international handbook: Toronto: Hogrefe, S. 203-230
Abstract: Provides a description of theoretical and empirical approaches to sketch the nature and scope of the social intelligence construct. Detailed attention is given to the empirical investigations of the structure and validity of this construct. Research designs and outcomes of these studies are described along with a classification of the measurement procedures affecting the validity of the studies. The considerations support the assumption that method-related variance can explain a substantial part of the results. Therefore, the application of multitrait-multimethod designs to control for this bias is suggested. In addition, past theoretical and empirical accounts are integrated into a performance model of social intelligence with the main focus on the cognitive facets of the construct: social understanding, social memory, social perception, and social creativity. Some empirical data are provided that supports this model. The chapter concludes by discussing important conceptual and measurement issues for future research: the importance of thoroughly specifying the intended measurement construct and the corresponding task requirements, the construction of tests that reflect the real-life significance of the construct, and a well-considered validation strategy (construct and predictive validity) that also takes related constructs like emotional intelligence into account.
