چکیده (انگلیسی):

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between cultural, social intelligences and student translators’
ability in translating cultural and social texts. The predictive power of CQ subscales (cognitive, meta-cognitive,
motivational,and behavioral) and SI subscales (social information processing, social skills, and socialawareness) in the
variance of translation scores were also examined. For the purpose of the study, a sample of 82 senior students of
English Translation Studies comprised the participants of the study. Participants filled two questionnaires: the Cultural
Intelligence Scale (CQS) and a Persian version of Tromso Social Intelligence Scale. They also received a rendering test
of translation. The results of the analysis indicated that there is a significant relationship between cultural intelligence
(CQ) and its subscales, social intelligence (SI) and its subscales and student translators’ ability in translating cultural
and social texts.
