This study investigates the influence of parenting styles on the development of emotional intelligence and resilience in young adults. By examining how these elements interrelate and affect each other, through a quantitative analysis of 154 participants. The research provides valuable insights into the role of parental upbringing in shaping psychological traits. The study's primary focus was to assess the connection between parenting styles and emotional intelligence in young adults. The results demonstrated a significant positive correlation (r=0.44) at the 0.01 level, indicating that nurturing, warm, and supportive parenting enhances young adults' ability to comprehend and manage emotions. This, in turn, facilitates better social interactions, emotional regulation, and adaptation to diverse situations. On the other hand, authoritarian or neglectful parenting may impede emotional intelligence development, potentially leading to challenges in emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships. The secondary aim was to explore the correlation between parenting styles and resilience in young adults. The research hypothesized a negative correlation and found a statistically significant negative correlation (r=-0.43) at the 0.01 level, suggesting that controlling parenting styles correlate with lower resilience in young adults. Despite the findings, the study also suggests that resilience is influenced by a variety of factors beyond parenting styles, such as genetic predispositions, external environmental conditions, and personal traits. These results underscore the critical role of parenting in fostering emotional growth and highlight the importance of positive parent-child interactions for promoting emotional well-being in young adults. Although resilience appears to encompass multiple dimensions beyond parental influence, the research suggests that authoritative, permissive, or uninvolved parenting styles can impede the development of coping mechanisms necessary for effectively dealing with life's challenges. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of supportive and nurturing parenting approaches in enhancing young adults' emotional intelligence and resilience, with implications for parents, educators, and mental health practitioners. The findings offer avenues for further research into other factors influencing resilience and emotional intelligence, potentially guiding interventions and support systems for young adults.
