This was an ex-post-facto study to analyse 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 use^ 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
