The study aims to find out the association between emotional competence and perceived parenting style of secondary school students. The cross-sectional study collected data from a stratified random sample of 866 students from the secondary schools of Ernakulam and Thrissur districts, representing the population of adolescents in the age range 13-15, studying in the secondary classes (Std. VIII to X) of schools affiliated to the Board of Public Examinations, Govt. of Kerala (India). Data were collected by administering the Emotional Competence Scale for Secondary School Pupils (Rekha & Salim Kumar, 2015) and the Scale of Parenting Style (Gafoor & Abidha, 2014). Chi-square test of association was employed to analyse the data inferentially. The result showed that emotional competence is associated significantly with both perceived fathering and perceived mothering styles.
