<![CDATA[Emotional intelligence has an important role.

One of the factors that can affect the level of emotional intelligence is external factors, one of which is parents. This study investigated parental social support's role in adolescent boys' emotional intelligence. This study uses a quantitative method. The sample of this study was taken using accidental sampling and purposive sampling techniques, involving 126 adolescent boys aged 14 – 18 years. Then, the researchers used the Parental Social Support scale and the Wong & Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS).
