The purpose of this review is to describe the characteristics of concept and measurement employed for the past research on social skills. Many studies were increased in attention to social skills in relation to interpersonal vulnerability. According to this investigation, we offer detailed suggestions for future research on social skills and it’s training in each related domain. Social skills mean the ability to manage fluent and adaptive interpersonal relationships with others under cultural background. The definition of social skills, however, has not obtained the consensus among researchers so far, and many different skills have been derived from different approaches. Many social skill training methods have been developed to make more effective programme. Consequently some tasks need to be clarified in the near future. We researchers should clarify the detailed components of social skills in relation to the goals to achieve. We should consider the relationships between the situational factors and the social rules in the context when we examine the content of training programmes.
