Parenting styles, Emotional intelligence, and Intelligence quotients in Thai school-aged children in Tukdang community, Bangkok Metropolis*
2008
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationships among parenting style, emotional intelligence, and intelligence quotients in Thai school aged children, Bangkok. Sixty-seven parents or care takers and eighty-seven children randomly selected from Tukdang community were the sample. Data were collected by four instruments-the Parenting Styles Questionnaires, the Emotional Quotients Test, Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices for children aged 6 to 9 years, and the Standard Progressive Matrices for children aged 10 and over. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA were performed to analyze the data. The finding of this study revealed that the protection style was practiced by the majority of the parents followed by the authoritative style. Additionally, despite the fact that statistically significant relationship was not found among factors, parents were particularly important for child’s development in EI and IQ. Environment also appeared to impact on their IQ and EI development. Further study to investigate the protection parenting style and its effects in Thai population should be conducted. In order to develop EI and IQ for children who lived in congested areas, interventions such as facilitators, including teachers, and findings better environments should be attempted.
