An investigation of social intelligence predictors of positive psychological health among teachers under the office of primary educational service in Prachin Buri
Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to investigate the multiple relationships
between positive psychological health with emotional quotient variables; empathy,
interpersonal relationship, social responsibility, problem solving skill, reality test,
flexibility, stress tolerance, and impulse control of teachers, and to formulate the
predictive equations of positive psychological health of teachers under the Office of
Primary Education Areas in Prachin Buri Province. The sample (n=240) was derived by
a multi-stage random sampling from teachers in Prachin Buri Province in the
academic year 2012. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Data were
analyzed by means of correlation coefficients and multiple regression using LISREL.
The results showed that Interpersonal Relationship (IPR), Problem Solving
Skill (PBS), and Flexibility (FXB) had a positive relationship with positive psychological
health (PPH) (p < .05). The predictive equations for positive psychological health
were as follows:
The equation in the form of raw scores:
P P H
= 1.74 + 0.25 (IPR) + 0.12 (PBS) + 0.12(FXB)
The equation in the form of standard scores:
PPH Z
ˆ = 0.31ZIPR + 0.19ZPBS + 0.15ZFXB
