This study explored the reliability, and validity of the Korean version of the Social Skill Rating System - secondary Level II(SSRS-secondary level; Gresham & Elliot, 1991). The SSRS was translated into Korean(K-SSRS: Secondary Level II) and administered to 394 students at secondary level, They completed 'K-SSRS: secondary Level 11', OSIQ-R and SCL-90-R. Factor analyses of the K-SSRS: Secondary Level II resulted in four interrelated factors, 1 implying 'social interaction', 2 'self-control', 3 'confidence on heterosexual', 4 'cooperation with school activity'. K-SSRS: Secondary Level II correlated positively with self-image and correlated negatively with psychological symptoms. Implications of social skills in Korea, relation between social skills and adjustment and the planning of preventive intervention were discussed.
