Abstract
Parents play a vital role in developing their children's emotional intelligence, which is critical for equipping youth as future leaders with the necessary competencies and resilience to contribute to national development. Thus, this study examined the relationship between parental involvement and emotional intelligence of senior high school students across Sevilla District, Division of Bohol, in the school year 2019 – 2020. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed using standardized tools. Results revealed that the parent-respondents were slightly involved in their children's education regarding home-based involvement, school-based involvement, and home-school conferencing. The student-respondents exhibited a "Low" level of Emotional Intelligence in general; however, they obtained a high rating regarding utilizing their emotions. Other components were rated "Low." Parental involvement did not correlate with the student's emotional intelligence; however, Multiple Regression analysis showed that it predicted the students' ability to manage others' emotions and utilize their own emotions. Recommendations were proposed to address the results and findings.
