This study analyzed the relationship between maternal parenting styles experienced and the emotional intelligence of probationers and parolees by (1) pinpointing the maternal parenting styles experienced growing up; (2) determining their emotional intelligence; and (3) correlating the two variables. Eighty (80) probationers and parolees from across Laguna were given survey questionnaires which contained the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) and the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ). Results showed that majority of the respondents experienced an authoritative parenting style which was found to have a strong significant correlation with their emotional intelligence. On the other hand, the smallest percentage experienced a permissive parenting style, which showed a weak correlation with emotional intelligence. Lastly, the authoritarian parenting style showed significant correlation, but is weaker than that of authoritative parenting.
