Sažetak
Interest in this topic stems from the daily work with adults in the area of mental health. Markus (2010) describes social competence as a complex construct that refers to the effective functioning of an individual in a social context, while also successfully achieving personal goals. The foreign literature describes social competence as part of emotional intelligence, which is related to the effective functioning of the social context. Stamp et al. (2009) suggest Dodge's (1985) definition, according to which social competence is a multidimensional construct that includes relationships, the frequency of interaction, a positive self-concept and social and cognitive skills. Literature review suggests that this construct different authors define differently ; in a way that usually social competence is being described during childhood and adolescence, while the same construct in adulthood describes inconsistently the same phenomenon. Given the importance and ubiquity of social competence in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adults suffering from mental disorders seems important to clearly define social competence. Due to the damage of social competence in the context of mental disorders like the disturbing quality of life for a large proportion of the adult population is extremely important to know the possibilities of strengthening social competence in order to prevent relapse. For these reasons, it is evident the need for a theoretical overview of the domestic and foreign literature whose results will be presented in this paper.
