Social-emotional expertise (SEE) represents a synthesis of specific cognitive abilities related to social interactions, and emphasizes the timing and synchrony of behaviors that contribute to overall social-emotional ability. As a step toward SEE construct validation, we conducted three experiments to develop a self-report measure that captured key elements of our conceptualization of SEE. In Experiment 1, we generated and tested 76 items for a measure of SEE. The resultant 25-item scale is reliable, test-retest: (80) = .82, < .001, and internally consistent (Cronbach's α = .90). Experiments 2 and 3 examined the relationships between the SEE Scale and related constructs. Convergent constructs, such as emotional intelligence, (885) = .62, < .01, and social anxiety, (885) = -.59, < .01, and discriminant constructs, such as social desirability, (885) = .19, < .01, and self-monitoring, (885) = .28, < .01, were found to be related in the expected directions. Additionally, two factors were statistically identified: Adaptability and Expressivity. The items contributing to each factor describe the ability to successfully navigate social environments and the ability to successfully convey affect and ideas to other people, respectively. These factors correlate with related constructs in distinct and theoretically relevant ways.
社会情感专业技能（SEE）代表了与社会互动相关的特定认知能力的综合，并强调了有助于整体社会情感能力的行为的时机和同步性。作为迈向SEE结构验证的一步，我们进行了三项实验，以开发一种自我报告测量方法，该方法能够捕捉我们对SEE概念化的关键要素。在实验1中，我们生成并测试了76个用于测量SEE的项目。最终得到的25个项目的量表是可靠的，重测信度：（80）=.82，<.001，内部一致性（克朗巴哈α系数=.90）。实验2和实验3研究了SEE量表与相关结构之间的关系。发现收敛性结构，如情商，（885）=.62，<.01，和社交焦虑，（885）=-.59，<.01，以及区分性结构，如社会期望，（885）=.19，<.01，和自我监控，（885）=.28，<.01，在预期方向上相关。此外，从统计学上确定了两个因素：适应性和表达性。对每个因素有贡献的项目分别描述了成功驾驭社会环境的能力和成功向他人传达情感和想法的能力。这些因素与相关结构以独特且在理论上相关的方式相关联。
