ABSTRACT
The aim of present study examined the association between perceived parenting styles
and emotional intelligence in Iranian boy students. The sample size was 188 boy
students (age from 16 to 19) were chosen by a multi-stage cluster sampling method.
For gathering data, students filled out Parental bonding instrument (PBI), and
Assessing Emotions Scale (AES). To analyze the data, Pearson correlation coefficient
and multivariate regression analysis were used. The findings revealed there were
positive associations between affectionate constraint parenting style, and optimal
parenting style with high ability of emotional intelligence, and negative associations
existed between affectionless control style and neglectful parenting style with high
ability of emotional intelligence. The affectionate constraint parenting style was a
powerful predictor of high ability of emotional intelligence, and neglectful parenting
style was a plausible predictor of low ability of emotional intelligence in adolescents.

INTRODUCTION
Emotional intelligence as one of the important factors play an important role in mental health.
Mayer, Salovey, and Caruso (2004) defined emotional intelligence as a kind of social
intelligence, includes the capability of monitoring one’s emotions and other’s emotions, and
manipulating the information for managing one's thoughts and actions, and regulating
emotion in self and others, and utilizing suitable emotions for solving actively and effectively
daily difficulties and obstacles. Noorbakhsh, Besharat, and Zarei (2010) concluded
individuals high in emotional intelligence have more successful performances than
individuals low in emotional intelligences. Schutte et al. (2001) revealed individuals with
high ability of emotional intelligence reported greater empathy, self-control, cooperative
responses, kindly relationships, and marital satisfaction than individuals with low ability of
emotional intelligence. Several studies have revealed that emotional intelligence is a powerful
predictor of success in different aspects, such as life skills, mental health, academic
achievement (Bastian, Burns, & Nettelbeck, 2005; Fernandez-Berrocal, Alcaide, Extremera,
& Pizarro, 2006; Goldenberg, Matheson, & Mantler, 2006; Lloyd, Malek-Ahmadi, Barclay,
Fernandez, & Chartrand, 2012). Bar-On (2000) stated that emotional intelligence often
expanded and developed by training. In the same vein, Other Studies have shown that
emotional intelligence is an ability that can be learned (Clyne & Blampied, 2004;
Dasborough & Ashkanasy, 2003; Hein, 2005; Kotsou, Nelis, Grégoire, & Mikolajczak,
2011). One of the benefits of emotional intelligence than IQ is the acquisition, because
individuals can learn, develop, and improve their emotional intelligence (Brown & Moshavi,
2005; Harms & Credé, 2010; Metz, 2004). Among the social factors influencing on emotional
intelligence, parents play a key role in emotional intelligence training (Fonte, 2009; Hsieh,
2006), because they play an important role in fostering of children. Several studies have
revealed that a significant association existed between high ability of emotional intelligence

with perceived care and supportive parent-ing style (Lopes et al., 2004; Lopes, Salovey, &
Straus, 2003). In another study, Fonte (2009) showed that a positive association existed
between authoritative parenting style and high ability of emotional intelligence in children,
and a negative association existed between permissive parenting style with the ability of
emotional intelligence in children. Asghari and Besharat (2011) found that a significant
association existed between perceived warmth parenting style and high ability of emotional
intelligence in Iranian students. Perceived parenting styles defined as an opinion of
adolescences or children about styles of parental behaviors during their childhood. According
to the definition, assessment of children about parental behaviors is important. There are two
types of perceived parenting styles: care, and overproduction. Several studies have revealed
that rejective and overprotective parenting styles significantly associated with emotional
intelligence in their children (Fonte, 2009; Lopes et al., 2004). Perceived parenting styles
defined as a perception of adolescents or children about styles of parental behaviors during
the childhood. Based on the definition, assessment of children about parental behavior is
important. Theoretical model of perceived parenting styles consists of care, and
overproduction (Gordon Parker, 1983). The studies have concluded that rejective, and
overprotective parenting styles significantly associated with depression in children
(Bemporad & Romano, 1992). Children with overprotective parenting style and extreme
control lead to dependency to the parents, and they could not be autonomous and overcome to
their problems. Therefore, lack of care and overprotective parental styles are likely influence
on self-image and susceptibility to depression, low self-esteem, and low ability of emotional
intelligence (Thammawijaya, 2012).
Current research efforts to study between perceived parenting styles and emotional
intelligence in Iranian boy students, and what kinds of perceived parenting styles predict low
or high ability of emotional intelligence in Iranian boy students.
METHOD
Participants and Procedure
The sample comprised of 188 high school students, and their ages were from 16 to 19 years
old (M= 17.1, SD=. 93). A random cluster sampling was used. There were fifty-five high
schools in the Ministry of Education, Tehran, 11 region. Six schools were chosen randomly,
and one class was chosen from every school. I got permission from Ministry of Education for
gathering data. All students in these classes were chosen as participants for this study. Data
collected during one of the regularly scheduled classes. They completed questionnaires,
included Parental bonding instrument (PBI) which was separately completed by students for
their fathers and mothers, and The Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale and Demographic
questions were completed.
Instruments
Parental bonding instrument (PBI) created by G. Parker, Tupling, and Brown (1979) is a self
- report questionnaire about retroactive experiences of children about parental behaviors
during the childhood period. This questionnaire comprises of 25 items assess an adolescent's
view about parenting styles in two aspects. One of them is care with 12 items, and it
evaluates warmth and affection; another one is overprotective parenting style with 13 items
evaluate the opinion of children about the control parenting styles. This questionnaire filled
out by adolescents separately for mothers and fathers. All questions are in 4-point Likert
scales from 0 (Very unlike), 1 (moderately unlike), 2 (moderately like) and 3 (Very like). For
example, this item is representative of overprotective parenting style” Was overprotective of

me” and this item is representative of care parenting style” Appeared to understand my
problems and worries." In base on PBI scores, parenting styles were divided into four levels,
affectionate constraint (high in care and protection), Optimal parenting (high care and low
protection), affectionless control (high protection and low care), and neglectful parenting
(low in care and protection). The studies reported good concurrent validity and reliability
(Herz & Gullone, 1999; G. Parker et al., 1979; Wilhelm, Niven, Parker, & Hadzi-Pavlovic,
2005). In the present study, the reliability of care, and overproduction were α: .79 and α: .75,
respectively.
Assessing Emotions Scale (AES) is created by Schutte base on the model of emotional
intelligence created by Mayer and Salovey (1993). This self-report questionnaire comprises
of 33 items assess characteristics of emotional intelligence in self and others. All questions
are in 5-point Likert scales from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Total scale scores
calculate by reverse coding items 5, 28 and 33, and then summing all items. The total score is
from 33 to 165. A higher score indicates the higher ability of emotional intelligence and con-
versely. AES divided into three sub scales, Appraisal of Emotions, Use of Emotions and
Regulation of Emotions. Schutte et al. (1998) suggested using the total scores of AES rather
than scores of sub scales. The AES had a good internal consistency with alpha: .90 and test-
retest reliability was .87 (Schutte et al., 1998). Several studies have revealed that this
questionnaire had a powerful convergent and divergent validity (Bastian et al., 2005; Brackett
& Mayer, 2003). At the false form of this scale (Besharat, 2007) alpha ‘s chronbach in a 135
students was 0.88, which showed a good internal consistency. In the current study, the
reliability was α: .88. Based on their AES scores, adolescents in this study were divided into
two levels of emotional intelligence low ability of emotional intelligence (1 to 82.5), high
ability of emotional intelligence (Up to82. 5).
Demographic survey
Demographic information was collected to measure different features of an individual’s
background. Participants completed a demographic survey about their age, educational level,
and family structure.
RESULTS
Simple frequency analysis in SPSS 20 was used to present demographic information,
including education levels, family structure, age, and depression in Table 1. As it can be seen
from the table 1, almost half (53.2%) of all adolescents reported high levels of emotional
intelligence and nearly half (46.8%) of all adolescents reported low levels of emotional
intelligence. Nearly Two-thirds (79.80%) of adolescents reported their parents are alive, and
(12.20%) of adolescents were living with a single parent, and (8%) of adolescents reported
their parents divorced. Participants equally were in junior, sophomore, and senior levels
nearly (33%). The ages of participants were from 16 to 18 years old equally by (32%) except
for 19 years old (6%). Pearson's correlation and multivariate regression used to analyze data.

As can be seen from table 2. Negative correlations existed between low ability of emotional
intelligence and paternal affectionate constraint style and paternal optimal parenting style,
and positive association existed between paternal affectionless control, and paternal
neglectful parenting style with low ability of emotional intelligence. There were positive
associations between high ability of emotional intelligence with paternal affectionate
constraint, and paternal optimal parenting style, and a negative association existed between
high ability of emotional intelligence with paternal affectionless control style, and paternal
neglectful parenting. These results are significant at p < 0.01 levels.

In regard of maternal parenting styles with adolescence's emotional intelligence, the table.2
shows that negative associations existed between low ability of emotional intelligence with
maternal affectionate constraint and maternal optimal parenting, and positive associations
existed between low ability of emotional intelligence with maternal affectionless control and
maternal neglectful parenting. There were positive associations between high ability of
emotional intelligence with maternal affectionate constraint and maternal optimal parenting,
and there were negative associations existed between high ability of emotional intelligence
with maternal affectionless control and maternal neglectful parenting styles.
It is apparent in Table. 3, that paternal neglectful parenting style was the greatest predictor of
low ability of emotional intelligence in adolescents (. 48). In addition, the paternal
affectionate constraint negatively predicted low ability of emotional intelligence in
adolescents (-.052). The results showed the paternal Affectionless control style, and the
paternal neglectful parenting style negatively predicted high ability of emotional intelligence
with (-.44), and (-.48) in adolescents, respectively. In addition, paternal affectionate
constraint positively predicted high ability of emotional intelligence in adolescents (.41).

ability of emotional intelligence in adolescents (-. 48), and (-. 49), respectively. Maternal
affectionate constraint parenting style positively predicted high ability of emotional
intelligence by (.47) in adolescents. These results were significant at p < 0.01 levels.
DISCUSSION
Returning to the questions posed at the beginning of this study, it is now possible to state that
affectionate constraint parenting style and optimal parenting style were positively associated
with high ability of emotional intelligence in adolescents, and affectionless control parenting
style, and neglectful parenting styles were negatively associated with high ability of
emotional intelligence in adolescents. Also, paternal and maternal neglectful parenting styles
were the highest predictors of low ability of emotional intelligence in adolescents, and
paternal and maternal affectionate constraint styles were the highest predictors of high ability
of emotional intelligence in adolescents. These findings are consistent with previous studies
(Asghari & Besharat, 2011; Delale, Taksic, & Ivcevic, 2007; Fonte, 2009; Hsieh, 2006;
Nastas & Sala, 2012; Thammawijaya, 2012).
The current findings add to the body of literature on emotional intelligence, and the vital role
of parenting style in the development of emotional intelligence in adolescents and children.
The findings of this study are expected, because the root of emotional intelligence is
affection, and affectionate constraint parenting style trains regulation, utilization, and
appraisal emotions in adolescents and children. According to the findings, it appears that
early parents-child relationship is crucial, and parents would have the affectionate parenting
style with children, and parents would care the basic needs of children, and in the childhood
period, they allow them the autonomy for growing self-confidence, self-regulation and
emotional integrity.
According to the social learning Theory, parents are the pattern for children (Gottman, 2001).
If parents had favorable emotional awareness, their children would learn emotional regulation
from them; and they could express favorable emotions for solving the problems in their lives,
eventually; parents have the children with high ability of emotional awareness.
Several important limits need to be considered. First, data for this study were collected by
using self-report instruments. These self-report instruments might produce exaggerated
optimal responses; therefore, it is better other researchers use other suitable methods for
assessing EI, such as direct observation, peer or family member's assessment. Second, the
subjects of the study belong to the high school students; therefore, the results cannot be
generalized to girls or boys, who study at different levels of education.
The findings of this study have several important implications for clinicians, counselors in
schools, universities, and mental health centers for training emotional intelligence in
adolescences. Additionally, the findings from this study can be fruitful for parents and family
members to nurture a generation with greater emotional intelligence and mental health. Also,
it is recommended that through speech makes parents aware of the consequence of negative
parenting styles on children.
It is recommended that further studies be undertaken in the following areas: First, need to
further researches about family structure, and parenting styles with emotional intelligence in
adolescents. Second, future studies could be done as a comparative study between individuals
with high ability of emotional intelligence, and low ability of emotional intelligence about
their mental health and other features that play important roles in their emotional intelligence.

Also, in regard to the urbanization characteristics and the study was done in Tehran city. It
seems the results would be different in the village. Therefore, I suggest that the future study
could be done in the village, because of the social and cultural differences between city and
village. Lastly, need to research on the association between parental emotional intelligence
with the emotional intelligence of children.

... Perceived parenting styles is defined as a perception of adolescents or children about styles of parental behaviors during their childhood. Based on the definition, assessment of children about parental behavior is important (Abdollahi, Abu Talib, & Motalebi, 2013). Gordon Parker has studied parental overprotection extensively and Parker is the only theorist, who wrote a comprehensive handbook based on a wide empirical background (Parker, 1983), as well as he is one of the firsts who designed a well standardized measure of parental overprotection (Parental Bonding Instrument -PBI; Parker et al., 1979). ...
... The findings of this study add to more information on perceived parental styles among undergraduate students. The findings of the study are new in nature as it assesses perceived parental styles based on the theoretical model of Gordon Parker which consists of care and overprotection, while other studies focus of different models of parenting styles and perceived parenting styles (Abdollahi et al., 2013 ;Asghari & Besharat., 2011 ;Nastas & Sala., 2012 ;Lee et al., 2013 ;George et al., 2018). ...

The present study proposes to see if there is any association between Emotional Intelligence and perceived parental care and overprotection styles. Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage one's own emotions as well as the emotions of others. Perceived parental styles are the perception of styles of parental behavior by children or adolescents. A sample of 112 undergraduate college students was taken. The students completed 2 Self Measure Questionnaires. The results showed that there was positive correlation between Paternal care and Emotional Intelligence and negative correlation between Paternal overprotection and Emotional Intelligence. There was no correlation between maternal care, maternal overprotection and Emotional Intelligence.
... Thus, parents show more intimate behaviors towards children who have more social interactions and they are more likely to adopt much more authoritative parenting styles 40 . Finally, parents with children with higher emotional intelligence can establish a better relationship with them and they may also adopt positive parenting styles 67 . ...
... In general, the findings suggested that children's psychological characteristics such as developmental and mental disabilities, temperament, social fearfulness and shyness, attachment, anxiety, and emotional intelligence should be considered in determining the factors contributing to parenting styles. These factors may also bring about psychological problems in parents such as negative feelings about parenting or even lead to challenging behaviors in children or mental health problems in children or parents, which in turn can have an effect on parenting styles 39,63,67 . ...

Background: The set of strategies used by parents to put their children’s behaviors under control are called parenting styles, which can be influenced by numerous factors including socio-economic variables, cultural differences, personal characteristics, and psychological factors. These factors can differently contribute to parenting style. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine psychological factors affecting parenting style. Methods: This study was a comprehensive literature review using the keywords of parenting styles, psychological factors, and parenting to search the databases of Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of , and Scientific Information Database. In this respect, 416 articles were extracted. 368 articles were removed after reviewing their abstracts and full text and eventually 48 articles were selected to elicit the required data. Results: Our findings were classified under two categories: factors related to parents (mental status, self-efficacy, parenting stress, perfectionism, personality traits, childhood trauma, marital satisfaction, parents’ attachment style, perceived parenting style, and substance abuse); and those related to children (child developmental and mental disability, child temperament, and anxiety). Conclusions: Considering the multiple psychological factors that affect parenting style, it is recommended to include an assessment of parent-child psychological status in family programs in order to identify the needs for -oriented care and take steps towards the development of parenting skills.

Background: Depression symptoms are among the most common psychological problems in students. Short-term treatments are important in preventing depression from turning into a disorder. Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of interpersonal counseling (IPC) in depression symptoms, emotional expression, and social skills of students in comparison to interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT). Methods: A pretest and posttest design with follow-up was used in this study, with two experimental groups and a control group conducted in Mashhad, Iran, in 2021. A total of 51 subjects who scored 14 or higher on the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Finally, the information obtained from 41 subjects was analyzed. The experimental groups underwent 7 sessions of 45 minutes of IPC and 12 sessions of 90 minutes of IPT every week. At the beginning of the study, after the end of the intervention, and after one- and three-month follow-up periods, all the subjects were evaluated with the BDI-II, emotional expressiveness, and social skills questionnaires. The findings were analyzed using the repeated measurement method and Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. All the analyses were carried out with SPSS software (version 23). Results: Both IPC and IPT treatments were effective in depression symptoms (M: 31.76, 20.41, 22.94, and 24), emotional expression (M: 32.94, 40.26, 38.47, and 37.23), and social skills (M: 224.9, 265.2, 254.4, and 253.7) (P < 0.05). The comparison of the two treatments showed no significant difference in the variables (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The findings of the present study can be considered a useful step in the field of short-term and effective interventions.

... The third hypothesis that parental wisdom is positively associated with adolescents' emotional competence was also corroborated. This result is consistent with research findings of the positive effects of warm and supportive parenting styles and the negative effects of hostile and neglectful parenting styles on children's and adolescents' emotional competence and emotional intelligence (Abdollahi, Talib, & Motalebi, 2013;Batool & Lewis, 2022;Costa et al., 2018;Gallitto & Leth-Steensen, 2019;Repetti et al., 2002;Stack, Serbin, Enns, Ruttle, & Barrieau, 2010). Emotional competence/ intelligence describes the ability to identify and understand one's own emotions and that of others, regulate one's emotions, and use emotions to attain one's goals (Davies, Stankov, & Roberts, 1998;Goleman, 1995;Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso, 2004;Mikolajczak, 2009). ...

This study investigated relations of parental three-dimensional wisdom on 15–17-year-old adolescents’ cognitive, social, and emotional developmental qualities. Families were recruited in 10th and 11th grades of public schools in Yazd, Iran, and a total of 140 father–mother–adolescent triads participated in the research. In multivariate regression analyses, parental wisdom was positively related to adolescents’ social intelligence and emotional competence but unrelated to adolescents’ cognitive skills and intelligence. Moreover, significant interaction effects between parental wisdom and adolescent gender showed that paternal wisdom only predicted sons’ social intelligence and emotional competence, whereas maternal wisdom only predicted daughters’ social intelligence and emotional competence. These results indicate that (a) wise parents appear to be role models for the social and emotional development of same sex adolescents and (b) intellectual development depends on other factors than parental wisdom. This suggests that promoting wisdom development in parents likely benefits the psychosocial development of their children.
... In contrast, parents are more likely to use neglectful parenting styles when children display negative emotions, externalized symptoms, and/or adjustment difficulties (Vafaeenejad et al., 2019;Ventola et al., 2017). Parents with shy children are less likely to apply authoritative parenting styles, while they are more likely to demonstrate more warmth, acceptance, and authoritative parenting with children reporting positive social adjustment and emotional intelligence (Motalebi, 2013;Banisi et al., 2020;Laukkanen et al., 2014). ...

Parenting behaviors and practices are widely acknowledged as playing a critical role in children's development. Parenting styles consist of parents’ broad behavioral patterns that attempt to control and socialize children; and parental attitudes and practices that set an emotional context or climate for parent-child relationships and child development. This chapter will review the literature on parenting styles and their associations with children's development from both a typology approach and dimension-focused approach, as well as the current measures that are used to assess parenting styles. In addition, the chapter reviews research findings on the association between parenting styles and children's developmental domains such as mental health, behavioral development, physical development, identity development, social and emotional development, and academic achievement. Moreover, this chapter discusses the factors that may influence the use of parenting styles, including children's characteristics, parents’ characteristics, and socioeconomic status. Lastly, the chapter discusses how parenting styles vary depending on gender and cultural contexts. Translational implications are also discussed.
... This finding has aided our understanding of emotional intelligence and how parenting style influences the development of EI in adolescents and children. According to the results, it seems that early parent-child relationship is important, and parents would have the affectionate style of parenting with children, and parents would take care of children's basic needs, and they would give them the autonomy for increasing self-confidence, self-regulation, and emotional integrity in the childhood phase [12]. A similar study from India trying to investigate the relationship between paternal parenting styles on emotional intelligence of adolescents. ...

Background: Emotional intelligence (EI) has been associated with positive outcomes for nursing students. The most significant factor in establishing an adolescent's level of emotional intelligence is their nurturing environment, chiefly their mothers because of their prolonged direct contact with them. Aim: This study aimed to assess the effect of a mother's work and perceived parenting style on emotional intelligence among adolescent nursing students. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Setting: This study was conducted at the five technical secondary nursing schools for boys and girls affiliated with the Egyptian Ministry of Health, and Population in Damietta governorate. Subjects: A convenient sample consisted of 417 adolescent nursing students. Data collection tools: Three tools were used; 1 st tool was a structured questionnaire to assess socio-demographic data of the studied adolescent nursing student and their parents, 2 nd tool was the profile of emotional competence (PEC) to assess Intrapersonal EI, Interpersonal EI, and global EI, and 3 rd tool was the scale of parenting style to assess perceived parenting styles. Results: There was no statistically significant relationship between the mother's work either with the emotional intelligence of studied adolescent nursing students or the parenting style as perceived by them. There were highly statistically significant correlations between the studied adolescent nursing students' EI and parent styles as perceived by them. Conclusion: Up on the finding of the current study, it was found that more than half of the studied adolescent nursing students have a moderate level of EI. On the other hand, there was a highly significant relationship between the quality of time spent with their mothers and their intrapersonal and global emotional intelligence. Recommendations: Mothers should spend quality time with their adolescents; listening to them, especially about their difficulties in understanding and dealing with others. The Profile of Emotional Competence (PEC) scale should be applied to nursing students to figure out those who need to develop intrapersonal or interpersonal EI or both.

Parents try to adopt a parental style adapted to their own sons and daughters’ needs, some of them consider opportune educating adolescents like they were once educated, and others wish to act differently from their parents’ education. The present study proposes to highlight the relationship between the level of development of emotional intelligence and parental styles. There were implied 90 adolescents and their parents. The adolescents completed 2 individual tests which evaluate the developmental level of emotional intelligence and its components: Emotional Intelligence Scale – EIS (Schutte et al., 1998) and Battery of Emotional Intelligence Profile – BTPIE (Wood, Tolley, 2003). The parents were asked to fill in the Questionnaire for the parental styles– CSP. The results show the fact that the development level of emotional intelligence is influenced by the five parental styles: authoritarian, dictatorial, permissive, democratic and rejecting / neglecting. The manner in which parents raport to their own adolescents, marks the level of development of emotional intelligence.

This study investigated the relation of perceived parenting (including involvement, autonomy support and warmth dimensions) with emotional intelligence. 352 students (142 boys, 210 girls) completed the Perception Of Parents Scale (Grolnick, Deci, & Ryan, 1997), and Emotional Intelligence Scale (Shutte et al, 1998). The results indicated that all dimensions of parenting were positively associated with emotional intelligence. Also, perceived warmth (especially of the mother) and then autonomy support can predict changes of emotional intelligence. It can be concluded that the way in which the parents’ warmth is perceived, is one of the most effective factors in developing the emotional intelligence.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate claims that emotional intelligence is significantly related to transformational and other leadership behaviors. Results (based on 62 independent samples) indicated a validity estimate of .59 when ratings of both emotional intelligence and leadership behaviors were provided by the same source (self, subordinates, peers, or superiors). However, when ratings of the constructs were derived from different sources, the validity estimate was .12. Lower validity estimates were found for transactional and laissez-faire leadership behaviors. Separate analyses were performed for each measure of emotional intelligence. Trait measures of emotional intelligence tended to show higher validities than ability-based measures of emotional intelligence. Agreement across ratings sources for the same construct was low for both transformational leadership (.14) and emotional intelligence (.16).

This study explored links between emotional intelligence, measured as a set of abilities, and personality traits, as well as the contribution of both to the perceived quality of one's interpersonal relationships. In a sample of 103 college students, we found that both emotional intelligence and personality traits were associated with concurrent self-reports of satisfaction with social relationships. Individuals scoring highly on the managing emotions subscale of the Mayer, Salovey, and Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), were more likely to report positive relations with others, as well as perceived parental support, and less likely to report negative interactions with close friends. These associations remained statistically significant even controlling for significant Big Five personality traits and verbal intelligence. Global satisfaction with one's relationships was associated with extraversion, neuroticism (negatively), and the ability to manage one's emotions, as assessed by the MSCEIT.
Chapter
Potential detrimental consequences of marital dissolution on the development of children and suggested safeguards are the motivating ideas of this chapter. With the assumption that children cannot or are not expected to absorb fully and cope positively with complex events and shocks in the family such as termination of the marital bond, then coping mechanisms, proper disclosure, and constant moral guidance should be recognized. Children confronted with such scenarios may have a distorted notion of what constitutes a good relationship and may get involved with drug addiction, alcohol abuse, suicidal tendencies, and other violent acts to show their rebellion. These are said to occur because unsuccessful marriages seem to imply to the children involved that there is low valuation given to the relationship by the couple or even by the family as a whole. Considering the delicateness of the issue, parents must then be responsible with the responses they will have to their own emotions - commonly called as meta-emotions. To elaborate on this concept, the chapter notes the characteristics of emotion-dismissing and emotion-coaching parents.

Emotional intelligence is a type of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use the information to guide one's thinking and actions (Salovey & Mayer, 1990). We discuss (a) whether intelligence is an appropriate metaphor for the construct, and (b) the abilities and mechanisms that may underlie emotional intelligence. © 1993.

Binge eating within Binge Eating Disorder (BED) may represent ineffective management of, and inappropriate escape from, strong, dysphoric emotions, but treatments have been slow to incorporate an emotion regulation focus. Eleven women meeting criteria for BED participated in 11 sessions (2 hours per week) of a psychoeducational group program providing training in emotion recognition and management, problem-solving, assertion training, relaxation and stress management. Outcome was evaluated using a multiple-baseline design replicated across groups. Binges were self-monitored daily, and self-report questionnaires assessed wellbeing and emotion regulation at pretreatment, posttreatment and follow-up. Cognitive changes from pre to posttreatment were evaluated by Articulated Thoughts in Simulated Situations. The program was effective in reducing binge eating, alexithymia, stress and depression, and it improved coping and positive cognitions. No participant met criteria for BED at follow-up. The findings provide support for the inclusion of training in emotion recognition and regulation in treatments for BED and for affect regulation models of binge eating.

Within Western cultures, self-esteem consistently has been demonstrated to be inversely related with parenting styles characterized by low levels of acceptance and high levels of overprotection (i.e., affectionless control). Although in traditional collectivist cultures there may be a preference for this parenting style, within a strong collectivist framework it is not thought to have a negative impact on self-esteem. However, for immigrant adolescents, the cultural context of collectivism may no longer support such a parenting style as adaptive, particularly because they tend to acculturate more quickly than their parents. To investigate this proposal, 118 Vietnamese Australian and 120 Anglo-Australian adolescents, aged 11 to 18 years, were recruited. They were administered the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory; the Parental Bonding Instrument, an acculturation measure; and two subscales of Eysenck’s Personality Questionnaire. As expected, parenting characterized by high levels of overprotection and low levels of acceptance related negatively with self-esteem for both samples of adolescents.
