Abstract
This was an ex-post-facto study to analyze parenting styles and emotional intelligence
of college respondents conducted on a purposive sample of 300 males and 200 females
respondents of College of Agriculture and College of Rural Home Science, University of
Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, Karnataka state. The age of the respondents ranged between
18-23 years. The respondents selected were undergraduate respondents from I, II III and IV
year classes. Parenting scale was used to measure parenting style developed by Bharadwaj et
al. (1998) Emotional Intelligence questionnaire was used to measure emotional intelligence
developed by Dulewicz and Higgs (2001). The results revealed that there was no significant
relationship between demographic characteristics with parenting styles and emotional
intelligence of the respondents. There was no significant difference between male and female
respondents on seven perceived models of parenting and seven components of emotional
intelligence. But there was significant difference between male and female respondents on
perceived freedom vs. discipline model of parenting. Majority of the respondents have
developed rejection, carelessness, neglect, lenient standard, freedom, faulty role expectation,
marital conflict and realism perceived models of the parenting. 1. On the basis of overall
results of emotional intelligence it can be concluded that among the respondents about 56, 31
and 13 per cent of them had developed lower, average and higher level of emotional
intelligence, respectively. As acceptance, protection, indulgence, realism, moralism,
discipline, realistic role expectation, marital adjustment perception of parenting increase, the
emotional intelligence of the respondents increases.
As acceptance, protection, indulgence, realism, moralism, discipline, realistic role
expectation, marital adjustment models behaviors of fathers, mothers and parenting with
children in their interaction increase, the six components (viz., self awareness, emotional
resilience, motivation, influence, interpersonal sensitivity and conscientiousness) of
emotional intelligence also increases. But the increase of intuitiveness among the respondents
was inversely related to the above models of behaviour of fathers, mothers and parenting
