Introduction

Youth is the time of life when one is young, and often it means the time between childhood and adulthood. It emerges as a period where the physical, psychological, and social formations lend them experiencing more frequent and more intense emotions than younger and older individuals (Larson & Lampaman Petraits, 1989). It is a time when they begin to assert themselves as distinct human beings.

Every youth is expected to learn to participate effectively in society and to acquire the necessary competence to do so mainly through interpersonal relationships. As a result of substantial interaction with parents, teachers, employers, and peers, who exhort, assess, reward, and punish him; youth competence is continuously being evaluated. Thus, the place of them in this social network of relationships influences their further development and widens their social world. Hence, they need to acquire necessary social skills and sensitivities essential for the formation of healthy interpersonal relationship, which would lead to an active and successful social life. The social skill which helps an individual towards coping with others and social relationships is termed as social intelligence.
