Influence of Parental Attachment on Emotional Intelligence and Self-Efficacy of Adolescents

Attachment plays a crucial role in the human mind and emotional development. Interactions with the people they are attached are important for shaping society and the self-image of individuals, which are internalized in an internal working model (Bowlby, 1969/1982). Attachment theory is becoming an influential perspective through which people can understand emotional regulation. This research aims to find the relationship between parental attachment, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy levels of teenagers in senior secondary schools in Punjab.
