ABSTRACT
Research has indicated that parenting styles can have a significant impact on various aspects of a child’s life, both in the present and future. Association within approaches to parenthood and attachment patterns is well-established. According to attachment theory, a child’s early attachment with their primary caretaker or caretakers lays the groundwork for their subsequent social and emotional development. This study evaluated the impact of parenting styles on a child’s EQ. Data was collected from school-going children aged between 18-25 years from different schools of Delhi/NCR using simple random sampling technique. The sample size was 113 (77 females and 36 males) who administered the Perceived Parenting Style Scale created by Divya and Manikandan (2013), and the Emotional Intelligence Scale developed by Anukool Hyde, Sanjyot Pethe, and Upinder Dhar (2002). Pearson Product-Moment Correlation of both the lists of scores from the two questionnaires is done to find the correlation table via IBM SPSS software. The findings of this study indicated that there was a low-positive correlation between authoritative parenting style and emotional intelligence, a very weak negative correlation between authoritarian parenting style and emotional intelligence and a strong negative correlation between permissive parenting style and emotional intelligence.
