Thanks all so much for the quick and very helpful response. I liked social interaction as well but since this is exactly what the next part of the sentence says (!) I think life skills fits perfectly.

Sociale redzaamheid

Het begrip 'sociale redzaamheid' wordt in de literatuur op verschillende manieren gedefinieerd. Voor een scherpe definitie verwijs ik naar Ladd en Mize (1983). Zij verstaan onder sociale 'redzaamheid: het vermogen om cognities en gedrag op een dus­danige manier te organiseren dat er sprake is van een geinte­greerd handelen naar cultureel geaccepteerde maatstaven. Gericht op het bereiken van interpersoonlijke doelen. Meer gepreciseerd en beschreven in vaardigheidstermen houdt het begrip sociale redzaamheid in het beschikken over vaardigheden, waardoor het ­omgaan met anderen bevredigend verloopt. Nog nader geconcreti­seerd betekent dit: met behulp van deze vaardigheden in staat zijn zonder al te veel moeite contacten te leggen, alsmede deze te onderhouden en daarnaast het vermogen bij problemen of menings­verschillen te komen tot bruikbare oplossingen.

agree  jarry (X): Nice reference. I see that "zelfredzaamheid" also translates as self-reliance/life skills
21 mins
neutral  Peter van der Hoek: I don't think it fits the translation as it would be seen as "zelfvoorziening". Lacking social and life skills does not necessarily make you less self reliant.

ability to cope


Explanation:
ability to live / do things independently, ability to cope / manage (for oneself))

normaal gezien is het zelfredzaamheid, en dit staat ook in het woordenboek, dus sociale redzaamheid is dan the ability to cope with things socially of zo, beter in de context te plaatsen door uzelf
