Emotional Intelligence, Conflict Resolution and Self Efficacy among Children of Working and Non-Working Mothers

Abstract

    Adolescents of working and non-working mothers are assessed for emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and self-efficacy. Developmental features examined a sample of 200. The group was emotionally intelligent, 72–148, M 117.9, SD 15.4. Conflict resolution scores 36 to 54 averaged 45.0 (SD = 3.0), indicating moderate efficacy and low skewness. Average self-efficacy declined from 12 to 66 to 28.6 (SD = 5.7). Adolescents with non-working mothers scored higher on emotional intelligence (M = 121.65, SD = 13.55) than working mothers (M = 114.16, SD = 16.39), with a modest effect size. Adolescents of non-working parents had higher self-efficacy (M = 29.53, SD = 6.12) than working moms (M = 27.81, SD = 5.20) with a small to moderate effect size (Cohen's d = 0.3 Adolescent emotional intelligence and self-efficacy are higher in non-working mothers. Because parental employment influences adolescent development, working women's families need interventions.
