This study aims to determine the influence of social skills between students who take part in collaborative learning and discussion. The research method used in this research is true experiment. The use of real experiments in this study aims to determine the causal influence between two factors that are intentionally treated or the treatment group and the control group and to compare the treatment and control that are not subject to treatment conditions. The subjects of this study were psychology students, there are 78 students who were divided into two groups, namely experimental and control. The results of the study showed that there were significant differences between groups that were taught with collaborative learning and groups that were taught by discussion learning. It viewed from the results of the study, it can be seen that the test results on group students who were taught by collaborative learning obtained a higher average value of social skills than the group without being taught by collaborative learning, namely by regular discussion. The average acquisition value of social skills is far adrift between the two groups.
