“…However, the contribution of parenting to trait EI has scarcely been investigated. Alegre (2012a) revealed positive associations between the amount of time mothers spend with their children and various aspects of children's trait EI. Additionally, Gugliandolo, Costa, Cuzzocrea and Larcan () showed that parental psychological control predicts trait EI, which in turn influences behavior problems; however, potential effects of positive parenting on children's trait EI were left unexplored.…”

The existence of individual differences in trait emotional intelligence (trait EI) makes the investigation of factors that contribute to such variations critical. Given the paucity of research in this area, the purpose of this study was the examination of the relationship between parenting styles and trait EI in an adolescent population. The sample of our study consisted of 127 adolescents (M age = 16.4, SD = 0.96; 42.2% female) from Greek schools, 15–19 years old, who were asked to complete questionnaires of perceived parenting (Parental Authority Questionnaire – PAQ) and trait EI (Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire–Adolescent Short Form – TEIQue–ASF). The estimation of the association between parenting scores and trait EI was based on a multivariable mixed‐effects regression model. An association between parenting styles and trait EI, statistically significant for authoritativeness (b = 0.27, z = 3.92, p < 0.001) and marginally significant for authoritarianism (b = –0.10, z = –1.77, p = 0.08), emerged even after controlling for a set of potential predictors of trait EI. Additionally, statistically significant associations of adolescents’ gender (b = –0.29, z = –2.37, p = 0.02) and parental education (b = 0.32, z = 2.54, p = 0.01) with trait EI were found. These findings provide insight in the field of trait EI antecedents and underline the potential significance of primary prevention programs with parents that aim to develop trait EI at a young age.

“…In this regard, family environment has an impact on children’s emotional base ( Alegre, 2012 ; Alegre and Benson, 2010 ; Argyriou et al, 2016 ; Bhatia, 2012 ; Chandran and Nair, 2015 ; Ozbaci, 2006 ). Impact is observed in the emotional and social competencies when family relationships become secure and smooth ( Chandran and Nair, 2015 ).…”

“…Impact is observed in the emotional and social competencies when family relationships become secure and smooth ( Chandran and Nair, 2015 ). Furthermore, there is a relationship between parenting and children’s trait EI ( Alegre, 2012 ; Alegre and Benson, 2010 ; Gottman et al, 1997 ; Liau et al, 2003 ). The amount of time mothers spend with their children and the quality of their interactions are important factors in forming children’s trait EI.…”

“…The amount of time mothers spend with their children and the quality of their interactions are important factors in forming children’s trait EI. The more joint activity times represent better parenting, and the promotion of parent modelling, reinforcement, shared attention and social cooperation ( Alegre, 2012 ). Consequently, parent–child interaction leads to less emotional and behavioural problems ( Galboda Liyanage et al, 2003 ; Gardner et al, 2003 ; Gugliandolo et al, 2015b ), better academic achievement ( Mingyue et al, 2001 ) and adolescents’ mental health ( Cousins et al, 2007 ).…”

This study explored the relationship between family functioning and trait emotional intelligence among 547 respondents, between the age of 16 and 24 years from Malaysia, Iran, China, Sudan, Somalia, Morocco, the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands. The questionnaires were Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale III and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Short Form. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between family functioning and trait emotional intelligence. The higher the family functioning, the higher the trait emotional intelligence among youths. The findings provide a deeper understanding in the field of family functioning and trait emotional intelligence and have implications for parents, administrators and child relationships dealing with trait emotional intelligence.

“…Por tanto, parecería fácil afirmar que padres emocionalmente inteligentes, cercanos y democráticos en sus prácticas pueden efectivamente transmitir sus habilidades emocionales a sus hijos (Alegre, 2012). Sin embargo, los estudios en edades tempranas son escasos y las medidas de evaluación utilizadas muy dispares, por lo que no contamos con suficiente información para dar una afirmación definitiva sobre el estado de la cuestión, sería necesaria una mayor investigación al respecto.…”

ResumenLa inteligencia emocional se ha relacionado con varias facetas del éxito personal y social como son el bienestar psicológico, el rendimiento académico entre otras. Las emociones y su regulación se aprenden desde la infancia y están influenciadas por el contexto más pró-ximo. El presente trabajo tienen por objetivo estudiar la relación entre los estilos parentales e Inteligencia emocional de los padres y la IE de sus hijos/as en edades tempranas. Han participado un total de 83 niños escolarizados en 2º ciclo de educación infantil; 52 padres y 62 madres. Se han utilizado como medida de la IE de los niños: (a) el Cuestionario de Bar-On y Parker (2002) para observadores que mide las habilidades interpersonales, intrapersonales, manejo del estrés, adaptabilidad y estado de ánimo; (b) Prueba de Percepción y Valoración de las emociones (PERCERVAL, Mestre, et al., 2011). Los adultos cumplimentaron un (a) cuestionario sobre su propia Inteligencia emocional adaptado de Bar-On (1997) y (b) un cuestionario sobre sus estilos parentales adaptado de Robinson, Mandleco, Olsen y Hart (1995) el cual mide la intensidad de dos estilos parentales: el democrático y el autoritario. Los resultados mostraron que el estilo parental se relaciona con la Inteligencia emocional de los padres.
