English abstract
The study aims at identifying the Parinting Styles, emotional intelligence and aggressive behavior of the study sample members, knowing the relationship among them, determining the contribution of emotional intelligence of parents of children with the variation of parental (tolerance/ strictness), (consistent/ inconsistency), (moderation/ dominance), (protection/ negligence). The study sample is composed of (296) male and female students from the 10th grade in Al Batinah South Governorate, and a number of (296) parents of the sample members selected through the available manner. The researcher uses Scale for Parental Styles (Jibril, 1989), Emotional Intelligence Scale (Michael, 2008), and aggressive Behavior Scale (Abu Abah & Abdullah, 1995).
The researcher concluded that the parental styles prevailing in the sample members were at the following arithmetic mean: (moderation/ dominance) (3.01) with moderate prevalence rates, (tolerance/ strictness) (2.58) with moderate prevalence rates, (consistent/ inconsistency) (2.32) with low prevalence rates, (protection/ negligence) (2.19) with low prevalence rates. The parental arithmetic mean for the emotional intelligence level of parents as a total grade was (3.67) with high prevalence rates, while the arithmetic mean of the violent behavior level as a total grade was (2.71) with moderate prevalence rates. The results show that there are no statistically significant correlations between the emotional intelligence (and its secondary dimensions) and the violent behavior for the children (and its secondary dimensions). The results also show that there is a statistically significant correlation between the four emotional intelligence (and its secondary dimensions) and the pattern of (consistent/ inconsistency), and the pattern of (protection/ negligence). Furthermore, the results of the path analysis indicated that the parental emotional intelligence did not have a direct impact on the children's violent behavior, while the impact was indirect through determining the pattern of the parental treatment style used or preferred by the parents in raising their children.
