Journal Title: Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 25
Abstract
The relations of the parents with their children and whether they know how to develop self-confidence of their children are important factors within personal development. Parents need to acquaint about directing their children’s behaviours, understand the purpose of the problematic behaviours of the children and where they result from, and also to learn how to respond to these behaviours constructively. The main purpose of this research is to determine the emotional intelligence of the school children between the ages of 11-15; and to describe the relations between emotional intelligence levels and perceived parents attitudes. For this purpose 82 children, who lived in İzmir and Aksaray, were applied Parents Attitude Scale and The Students’ Frequency of Using Their Emotional Intelligence Adequacies Scale were carried out. The results were evaluated through SSPS 22. According to the results obtained, while the children perceive themselves as quite good in terms of all sub-dimensions of emotional intelligence, they stated that the attitudes their parents show them reflect democratic attitudes more. It was found that emotional intelligence sub-dimensions (selfconsciousness, managing emotions, motivating emotions, empathy and social skills) were in a significant and positive relation with parental attitudes which are perceived democratically however they were in a negative and insignificant relation with the perceived authoritarian and protective/caring parental attitudes
