Abstract
Abstract: The aim of this study was to survey the social intelligence and athletic identity of the athletes in the field of Wushu. The statistical population for the study included 95 boys and 80 girls who participated in national team of Wushu. The data collection for determining the athletic identity was measured by the Brewer and colleagues’ scale (1993) and the social intelligence was measured by social intelligence scale of Troms (2001). The data was then analyzed using statistical and descriptive indexes using variance analysis and T-Test and Pearson's correlation coefficient with the help of SPSS software. The study’s results showed that the social intelligence was not significantly different between boys and girls. The athletic identity was higher in older and more experienced athletes (the difference was not significant). The link between social intelligence with the subscale of Social Identity was significant and positive and it was significant and negative with the subscale of excitability. The athletic identity has a negative effect on the social skills (subscale of social intelligence). The relation between the social intelligence and the athletic identity is a two-way and interactive relationship. With respect to the possible negative effects of athletic identity (negative excitability, extreme monopoly, the lack of other identity aspects such as social, family, and religious), growth and development of the athletic identity requires some support by the social intelligence. Keywords: social intelligence, athletic identity, Wushu athletes, athletic
