- Description
- Children find unique acceptance in their relationships with grandparents, which benefits them emotionally and mentally. The presence of grandparents in the family can be a source of great support for other family members, especially children and adolescents. They are often role models, playmates and mentors for younger generations. The aim of the study is to compare emotional intelligence of adolescents with regard to the influence of grandparents through a quantitative research design. The sample taken for this research comprised of 427 adolescents of VIII to XII standards, among which 278 were from nuclear families and 149 from three generation families. They belonged to ten different government aided urban state syllabus English medium schools in Kerala. Mangal Emotional Intelligence Inventory was used to yield the total score and four dimensional scores in areas of Intrapersonal awareness, Interpersonal awareness, Intrapersonal management and Interpersonal management in adolescents. An independent sample t-test between two types of families indicated that grandparents have an influence on the emotional intelligence of adolescents.
