Abstract
The development of a child's emotions is influenced by various factors, one of which is parental bonding. The way a child perceives their parents greatly affects their emotional being. This study investigated the association between perceived parental bonding and emotional intelligence among elder and younger male siblings. The study used the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) and the Goleman Emotional Intelligence Scale. The total sample consisted of 126 participants, of which 63 were elder male siblings and 63 were younger male siblings. The inclusion criterion was males with at least one male sibling. The age range of the participants in the study was 18-25 years old. The results revealed a significant correlation between perceived parental bonding and emotional intelligence. Although the mean emotional intelligence score was lower for the elder male siblings than the younger male siblings, the elder male siblings showed a stronger association between the two.
