Abstract	Parenting style is one factor that significantly affects the psychological and emotional development of the child. In the case of first-generation learners, the role of parents is more significant since they may not have the educational background to support their child’s educational needs. The present study is conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between parenting style, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence among first-generation learners. A sample of 204 college students was selected using the convenience sampling method. Standardized scales were used to assess the level of parenting style, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence. As the data were not distributed normally, non-parametric tests were used. The Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the level of authoritarian and permissive parenting style is not significantly related to self-efficacy and emotional intelligence. In the case of authoritarian and permissive parents, the level of self-efficacy and emotional intelligence is low.
