The present study investigated the relationship between demographic variables(gender, grade in school, etc.) and children`s social intelligence. Elementary and middle school students responded to the self-reported inventory on social intelligence, and their teachers used the social intelligence rating scale for children. The results show gender, grade, and regional differences in children`s abilities to deal with various social situation. Furthermore, parents` education and residence is also related to their children`s social intelligence. Based on regression analyses, it was found that grade in school and parent education were the most influential variables in explaining variance in children`s social intelligence.
