The goal of the presented research is to identify the origin of differences between Serbian (N=166) and Roma children (N=169) of primary school age in achievement on Modified Rosenzweig Test, used as a measure of social intelligence (Roma children had lower results than Serbian children). Results show that these differences can be partly explained with extreme inviolable socio-economic and cultural status of Roma children. Social intelligence test's scores are significantly correlated with socio-economic and cultural status; this correlation is more apparent in Roma than in Serbian sample. Differences between Serbian and Roma children become less apparent when we control the influence of socio-economic and cultural status. Parent's educational level is recognized as the most important indicator of socio-economic and cultural status. Another way to identify the origin of differences was directed to investigation of adequacy of used test as a measure of social intelligence of Roma children. Our assumption that some items make whole test unfair for Roma children is not confirmed. However, results concerning the relation between experience with particular social situations and success in particular test items, and results concerning the different structures of implicite understanding of social intelligence by Serbian and Roma parents, point out that test key favors responses that Serbian people accept as optimal in task situation, while the responses according to Roma implicite understanding of social intelligence are less valued.

The article provides a review of ideas about social intelligence and information about severity of its various components in primary school age. During this period, the development foundations are laid for the next age stages, and social intelligence is the foundation of personal development. The review given by the authors showed that at the beginning of primary school age, social intelligence is at a low or medium level of development. Throughout the entire age period, the development of individual components occurs heterochronously. The child is consistently mastering social skills and is better aware of himself; these tendencies are distorted by the excessive enthusiasm for computer games. The regulation of their emotions and social sensitivity are initially more characteristic of girls, at the end of the period – to the same or greater extent in boys whose development of the emotional component of social intelligence is slowed down. At the behavioral level, the underdevelopment of the social intelligence of younger students is manifested in the difficulties of adapting to school life and communicative problems. Thus, social intelligence developed in primary school age ensures the use of optimal behaviors in interaction with others, satisfaction with family and school life.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of proactive coping behaviour in primary school pupils. The problem of proactive coping behaviour in primary school age is considered, the basic personal properties and qualities associated with its development (forecasting, ontogenetic refl ection, understanding of the categories of time) are determined. The question of the relationship of forecasting and understanding of a child’s temporal perspective (categories of past, present, future) from the point of view of the formation of ontogenesis of proactive coping is discussed. Positive correlations between the styles of proactive coping behaviours and the personality characteristics of the child (forecasting, refl ection of past experience) are established. It has been established that in primary school age, proactive and refl ective coping is almost formed, depending on the emotional support of signifi cant adults and the amount of information support. The positive correlation between emotional support and age is particularly noted. Clustering of the research data allowed the author to identify and describe three types of proactive coping behaviour of children (preventive-refl ective, negative-proactive, positive-proactive), which differ in their level of forecasting, refl ect on past experience and the prevalence of a specifi c style of proactive coping.

The studied students are from the fourth grade, the town of Kyustendil. The drawing of the "Non-existent animal" aims to prevent the essence of the problem of working at the level of primary prevention of aggression in children of primary school age. The following criteria are distinguished in order to analyze the symptom of the "non-existent animals" depicted by children: the preventive symbolic meaning of the depicted objects; preventative importance of colors; degree of aggression; the presence of decorative details. The preventative approach in the drawing is based on the stage in which children painting the non-existent animal, drawing themselves in situations of social communication. When children accumulate in their minds subjective, emotional estimates of their intercourse with their peers, they as a result of cognitive psychological stress sharpen their feelings of being suppressed. Students begin to experience inwardly negative feelings, as a result of which they push these experiences unconsciously and at a conflict moment of perturbation from the external environment with which they communicate, these emotions of emotion in the children are unleashed. At such times, children with lower self-control outweigh the aggressive manifestation of a calm reaction that avoids the aggressive outburst. There are situations where the propensity of children to irritable behavior leads to behavioral deficits in my forms of communication with others. When there is an unfavorable relationship between children, they start distancing and non-acceptance of the other's point of view, and then begin to feel lonely as a factor in „cognitive dismoderate intercourse". Incomplete interactions between children help to ignore the essential moments of communication between children; in practice, incorrect feedback is broken in the course of cognitive processes in communication. There is a distance, not a clarification of the relationship. A small percentage of children start sharing their emotions even with their loved ones. In practice, children do not clarify their positions and relationships with peers and those with whom they have problematic interactions. In this way, children reconstruct in their minds subjective assumptions about the actual irritants leading to aggressive manifestations. Children begin to get angry at themselves and the people they communicate with on every occasion, even with the most common remark. These children are predominantly irritable, especially among the students, which contributes to the escalation of their aggressive behavior. Children do not realize what behavior they actually have and how it affects the people they communicate with. They lack the proactive behavioral standard. Subsequently, there is an imbalance between perceptual views of children and their classmates about attitudes related to problematic issues. In practice, there is an incorrect refraction of the feedback in the process of communication between children, and the focus on their own perceptual attitudes comes to the fore. Emphasizing on one's own views and neglecting the corrective preventive attitude of adult authority on the problematic situation only reinforces the process of „cognitive dismoderate intercourse", among children.
