Abstract

During the past decades, a large number of psychologists and psychiatrists emphasized the importance of adaptation and development of emotional and social skills in adolescents. They have emphasized during school education. Among the reasons for this attention is that the successful adaptation of people depends on the integrated performance of emotional abilities. In fact, emotional intelligence plays an essential role in developing adaptation to stressful experiences and events, predicting desirable goals in the future, and adapting to chronic stress. Therefore, considering the importance of this issue and the fact that the latest research in this field was conducted on old scales and in them, less adaptation dimensions were considered, and due to the necessity of using new tests, the present study The aim is to determine the psychometric characteristics of the compatibility questionnaire and its relationship with emotional intelligence among high school girls in Babol city. In this descriptive-survey study, the statistical population includes all female high school students in Babol, which numbered 7568 people. 400 students were selected by multi-stage random sampling method. Data collection tool, "Sinha" compatibility questionnaire. and "Singh" and emotional intelligence questionnaire "Shot" was The data were collected using "Kolmogrove" statistical tests. Smirnov", "Cronbach's alpha", "Pearson's correlation" and "exploratory factor analysis" It was used to confirm the validity, reliability and also the analysis of other hypotheses.

The results first show that Cronbach's alpha value for all questions is 0.97 and for each element is more than 0.7, and because the KMO test value is 0.764, the correlation between The data is suitable for factor analysis and the narrative situation is also recognized as suitable, and then it shows that there is a direct and meaningful relationship between adjustment (social adjustment according to r = 0.353, emotional adjustment according to r = 0.459 and educational adjustment according to r = 0.570) and emotional intelligence.

Overview of the research

1 Introduction

Adjustment[1] in teenagers as the most important sign of their mental health, is one of the topics that has attracted the attention of many sociologists, psychologists and educators in recent decades, because the period of adolescence is a sensitive period and adaptation is undergoing changes in this period. Emotionally, physically and mentally, it is extremely intense and the person is not yet fully developed. For this reason, the delay in emotional maturity may cause serious problems in interpersonal relationships in teenagers and in social relationships for them. In addition, social growth is the most important aspect of the growth of every person's existence, and the criterion for measuring everyone's social growth is his compatibility with others. Adaptation, like physical, emotional and mental growth, is a continuous quantity and it gradually reaches perfection and is achieved during life naturally and in dealing with experiences. In other words, with the passing of childhood and entering adolescence, psycho-social development turns from a simple transformation into a profound and qualitative transformation, and by applying social skills, the teenager can find his place among social interactions and communication with peers and adults and be accepted by society. Success in social acceptance leads to adaptation and may bring a person to the stage of social influence and penetration, which is a level higher than social acceptance, and at this stage he can influence those around him (Atkinson, Atkinson and Hilgard[2], 2009). Answer your motivations. A person benefits from compatibility when he can establish a healthy relationship between himself and his social environment and satisfy his motives, otherwise we consider him incompatible.In fact, adapting to the environment is a skill that must be learned, and its quality, like other learning, depends on the level of interest and effort of the individual to learn (Islami Nasab, 2010).

The American Psychiatric Association (2010) [3] defines adaptation as: "coordinating behavior in order to meet the needs of the environment, which often requires modifying impulses, emotions, or attitudes" (Quoted by Hajari, 2018). Social adaptation [4] is defined as a process by which relationships between people, groups and cultural elements are established in a satisfactory state. In other words, relationships between individuals and groups must be established in such a way as to provide their mutual satisfaction. Thus, social adaptation is the mechanisms by which a person finds the ability to belong to a group. For this reason, social adaptation requires the occurrence of changes in the individual, and it also requires the integration of the mechanisms by which the group accepts a new member (Yemenidozi Sorkhabi, 2019). That is what this research tries to explain. Emotional intelligence means a person's ability to review his and others' feelings and emotions, distinguish between emotions and use emotional information in a healthy way in solving problems and regulating behavior (Salovey and Mayer [6], 2011).

In general, what emerges from the research literature is that the successful adaptation of people depends on the integrated performance of emotional abilities. In fact, emotional intelligence plays an essential role in developing adaptation to stressful experiences and events, predicting desirable goals in the future, and adaptation to chronic stress. In 2010, Ekstermera and his colleagues suggested that teenagers who have problems in recognizing their emotions and do not have the necessary abilities to regulate their emotions, do not have good control in conditions of psychological stress, and the nature of psychological stress is more intense. understand and have less psychological compatibility.

Given that so far, limited studies have been conducted on the relationship between compatibility and emotional intelligence, and on the other hand, examining compatibility is theoretically essential in improving interpersonal relationships and the environment, and in practical terms, it can solve or compensate to some extent people's issues and problems in the field of compatibility, and the need to investigate this issue, many researches were studied and based on the importance of compatibility and emotional intelligence in life, this issue should be evaluated Therefore, the need to examine the psychometric characteristics of the compatibility questionnaire is felt to examine the present issue in the form of new and updated tests. Therefore, the present research was conducted with the aim of determining the psychometric characteristics of the compatibility questionnaire and its relationship with the emotional intelligence of high school girls in Babol city. Acquiring social skills, how to communicate with other people and adaptability are among these dimensions. Some psychologists consider social adjustment to be synonymous with social skill. According to them, social skill is the ability to establish mutual relations with others in a specific social context, in a specific way that is acceptable and valuable in the society. (Slabi and Guevara [8] 2009; quoted by Abedini, 2010). While some other psychologists consider adaptation and social skill as a process that enables people to understand and predict the behavior of others, control their behavior and regulate their social interactions. (Islamoski and Dan[9], 2006)

Iwata[10] et al. (2010) in a comprehensive review divide the factors effective in adaptation into six major categories, each of which is further divided into more detailed factors, these factors include:

A- Physical deprivations due to limb defects, improper and bad nutrition, sleep deprivation and mental fatigue, processes Emotional trauma and brain damage.

B- Psychological, social and environmental factors, such as rapid and important social changes such as unemployment, war, natural disasters, disintegration of the family center, poverty and addiction.
