ABSTRACT
The study acknowledges the significant impact of parental behaviour on a child’s emotional development and investigates the link between parenting styles and emotional intelligence in both males and females. The home’s emotional environment, which is created by parents’ communication, support, and attentiveness, has a big impact on how well a kid can comprehend and control their emotions. Children develop their emotional intelligence in a safe, loving environment where parents model acceptable emotional expression. But gender stereotypes frequently affect how people express and perceive their emotions, and parents unintentionally reinforce conventions by pushing boys to be stoic and girls to be caring. In order to demonstrate the significance of eradicating gender prejudices and enabling both male and female children to freely explore and comprehend their emotions, the study’s goal is to investigate how various parenting approaches affect emotional intelligence across genders. A purposeful sample of sixty people participated and responded to the Adult Scale of Parental Attachment-Short Form (ASPA SF), and the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue). The data were evaluated using analysis of variance, and the findings are expected to demonstrate that authoritative parenting promotes high emotional intelligence levels, but authoritarian or negligent parenting, especially with regard to men, may result in lower emotional intelligence. This study emphasises how important parenting is to a child’s emotional development and how gender-neutral methods are necessary to help all kids acquire emotional intelligence.
