What does “social ease” mean?

}
I saw this collocation in a book, but I didn't find something on my dictionary, so I decided to ask you.
"Our mind-reading abilities play a key role in our work and relationship successes, our sense of humour, our social ease."
I think I know what its literal meaning is, but I also wonder how do you use it in everyday life.

Without further context I would say it simply means *ease in social situations*—someone who can easily mingle with people.

What do you think the "literal meaning" is? Sometimes it might specifically be used in contrast to uneasiness (i.e. - not being shy, nervous in company). Other times it means functioning well as part of a social group, sociable. But most likely it has a more precise definition in the field of social psychology.
