 * The American Psychological Association's dictionary has it. Also a business glossary and McGraw-Hill Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine at OneLook. In the psychology and management context, the social skills deemed relevant are almost always restricted, excluding those that are merely self-serving [for the individual having them DCDuring TALK 18:27, 23 May 2012 (UTC)]. I think looking at the definitions offered would probably confirm this, though finding confirmation through attestation would be both better and much harder. DCDuring TALK  16:19, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is a set phrase used widely in psychological/behavioural fields. Based strictly on its parts, "social skills" may be understood to indicate skills related to society, but not specifically "personal skills needed for successful social communication and interaction", which is what the term is used pretty much exclusively to refer.
