Abstract

Emotional skills are an essential part of the adolescent stage, and various studies have shown that the absence of these skills affects both daily life and the school context. The family has a fundamental role since it is the most important context where these competencies are forged. Adolescents with good levels of emotional intelligence tend to show greater physical and psychological well-being and know how to deal better with any emotional conflict. The objective was to relate the parenting styles and the dimensions of emotional intelligence in adolescents of the Cuenca City Educational Unit, period 2022-2023 according to the sociodemographic variables age, sex, and family type. The study has a quantitative approach, non-experimental, cross-sectional design, and correlational scope. We worked with a population of 130 adolescents. A total of 91 adolescents participated because some adolescents did not sign the informed assent and others did not meet the inclusion criteria. The instruments used were the Steinberg Parenting Styles Scale and the WLEIS-S. s results, a significant relationship was found between the dimensions of emotional intelligence and the mixed parenting style, which showed a higher emotional intelligence in the participantswho have been raised under this style, while it was lower in the permissive indulgent style. In addition, it was evidenced that most of the participants have been raised under the authoritative style with more than 50%. Finally, regarding emotional intelligence, it was identified that an average of 5.20 of the participants have a predominance in the use of their own emotions.
