ABSTRACT

Social cognition broadly includes the cognitive processes used to decode and encode the social world. The most complete description of social cognition must include information processing about all people, including the self, and about the norms and procedures of the social world. These processes are likely to occur at the automatic and controlled levels of processing and will be influenced by a number of motivational biases. In the present study, the investigator has been constructed and standardized “Social Cognition Scale” for teachers of secondary and higher secondary level. The simple random sampling technique was used. The statistical analysis of Cronbach Alpha was used to find the reliability co-efficient of “Social Cognition Scale”. The draft form of social cognition scale consists of 45 items; out this 35 items were retained in the final form. The reliability value of the final form of the social cognition scale was 0.808, it was highly suitable for teachers of secondary (BT Assistants) and higher secondary (PG Assistants) level.
