Parental Bonding, Family Environment and Emotional Intelligence: socialization, regulation and well-being

This paper reviews the theory and data that suggest a safe attachment associate to warm parental bonding, to cohesion and to expression familiar, antecedents of a high Emotional Intelligence (EI), as well as to adaptive coping, associate to the well-being. For it, we presented the instruments that try to evaluate the EI, the attachment, the regulation and the well-being. The scales were app-lied in three countries (Spain, Chile and Mexico) to a total of 357 university students (average of 22 years). In general, the results indicate that the participants with a greater well-being inform a low insecure attachment, remember a good relation with the family, perceive a greater expression emotional in their family and, in addition, display a greater clarity, regulation, and expression of emotions, as well as a good ability, that is, a greater EI.
