Abstract
In the past the success of individual often has been equated with high IQ. But in the last two decades Gardener, Salvoey and Meyer, Goleman and other has researched in the area and found out that it is not IQ but EQ which determines one's success in life. The one who has high on emotional intelligence is found to be better in handling the situations of life than one who has low level of emotional intelligence. The parents who had high influence in the life of children especially at the initial phase of life are responsible to enhance EQ with good social and emotional environment. This will help the child to cope future exigencies. As, the children in the age group of 14-16 years pass through the phase of life which is considered to be crucial therefore, it is imperative that they are able to handle and control their emotions as it has implications for their immediate and future life. Children of this age share a different kind of relationship with their parents. Therefore, it is very pertinent that parents should understand their emotions and try to act according to it. Parents adopt different parenting style to rear their child. Authoritative parenting has been considered as optimum parenting style for the various developmental parameters of a child and it has been true in case of emotional intelligence. But most of the researches are being done in western population. The present study was conducted in the Indian urban setting wherein students and their educated mothers had participated. The result indicated that authoritative parenting style was not all correlated with emotional intelligence of the boys, girls or students. Though, some components were correlated with emotional intelligence.
