Relationship between Perceived Parenting, Spiritual Intelligence and Resilience

Parenting styles refer to general patterns of parental behaviour which affect a child’s developmental path and parental spirituality, or the beliefs and practices related to religion and spirituality that parents hold, is an important aspect of parenting that has gained attention in recent years. Whereas resilience is the ability to adapt to and recover from stressful or adverse events. It can also refer to the ability to develop resources and potential while dealing with difficulties. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived parenting style, spiritual intelligence, and resilience among 127 young adults aged 18 to 26. The research explored how these variables interact to influence individuals’ perceptions of their upbringing and their emotional and psychological characteristics. Significant positive associations between perceived parenting style and both spiritual intelligence and emotional reactivity, indicating that individuals with higher perceived parenting style tend to exhibit greater spiritual intelligence and emotional reactivity. The results suggest that while there may be some relationship between perceived parenting styles, spiritual intelligence and resilience, it is not statistically significant. These findings underscore the importance of parental influence in shaping emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being, highlighting the need for further research into the dynamics of parent-child relationships and their impact on individual development.
