Data were collected from January to March 2018. The research instruments consisted of the Demographic Questionnaire of Child and Primary Caregivers, the Caregiver’s Perceived Help and Social Support Questionnaire, and the Primary Caregivers’ Practice on Promoting Emotional Intelligence of Children Aged 3-5 years old Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Biserial correlation coefficient, and Spearman rank correlation coefficient.
The study results were as follows.
- Eighty percent of primary caregivers had a mean score of preschool’s emotional intelligence promoting practice at a high level (=3.35, S.D. = 0.34).
- Education level and income had a statistically significant positive correlation with primary caregivers’ practice in promoting preschool children’s emotional intelligence (r=.289, r=.463, p<.01, respectively)
