Abstract
The current descriptive study aims to determine the level of relationship between the soft skills and self-criticism of social work graduate students. Using a random sample of 96 male and female students, the study relies on a social survey approach. For the first time, the relationship between these two variables was measured with the Soft Skills Scale and the Self-Criticism Scale. The findings revealed a statistically significant inverse relationship between interpersonal skills and self-hatred (r = -0.229, p < 0.05). Additionally, there was a statistically significant negative correlation between interpersonal skills and overall self-criticism (r = -0.294, p < 0.01). A positive correlation was also found between cognitive skills and self-reassurance (r = 0.213, p < 0.05), while no significant relationship was identified between cognitive skills and other dimensions of self-criticism. Most of the remaining correlation coefficients were weak and statistically insignificant. Furthermore, a statistically significant inverse correlation was found between overall soft skills and self-reassurance (r = -0.330, p < 0.01), as well as between overall soft skills and overall self-criticism (r = -0.267, p < 0.01).
