The purpose of the current research is to investigate the relationship of family environment with emotional intelligence. It was proposed that a positive relationship would likely exist between emotional intelligence and family environment. In addition to that demographics and family dimensions predict emotional intelligence and gender differences is likely to be in emotional intelligence. The sample of N= 351 adolescents (n= 172 men; n= 179 women) age ranging 15-19 years were included in the study. Family Environment and Emotional intelligence of the participant were measured by means of Family Environment Scale (Bhatia & Chadha, 1993, α =.95) and Scale of Emotional intelligence (Batool & Khalid, 2009, α = .95). For data analysis, Pearson Product moment correlation and hierarchical regression were used. The results show that the family environment and the emotional intelligence have a significant positive relationship. Further, it was found that academic class, father education, number of siblings, family cohesiveness, being accepting and caring significantly predicted emotional intelligence of adolescents. The results are discussed in the context of Pakistani culture, where family system is intact and cohesive family may contribute to emotional intelligence of adolescents.
