ABSTRACT: A series of studies over the past decade has examined the contributions of psychological and sociopsychological determinants of emotional intelligence (EI). The aim of this study was to investigate the prediction of perceived parental styles in childhood to emotional intelligence as ability in late adolescence. A sample of 177 students in Cairo University (20.93 ± 1.284 years old) was selected and was administered with socialization inventory and modified Emotional Intelligence as ability scale. The finding indicated that perceived father’s tolerance predicted EI in males while mother's acceptance predicted EI in females. It can be concluded that differentiated parental socialization in childhood predicted EI in adolescence.
