Parenting Styles, Dominant Temperament, and Emotional Competence among Filipino Senior High School Students

Abstract

This research explores the relationship between parenting styles, dominant temperament, and emotional competence among Filipino Senior High School students. The study aims to provide insights into the impact of different parenting practices on the emotional development and temperament of adolescents. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire from 330 Senior High School students attending Cauayan City National High School. The results show that majority of the students were cared for by their mothers, and autonomy granting and demandingness were the most commonly observed parenting styles. The dominant temperament of most students was found to be openness, indicating a curious and imaginative nature. Additionally, the students exhibited a high level of emotional competence, particularly in feelings of joy and love. However, there was no significant difference in dominant temperament and emotional competence based on parenting profiles. Furthermore, no significant relationship was found between dominant temperament and emotional competence.
