current study. To operationalize the construct, 130 adolescents with ages 15-21 were administered translated Urdu versions of
Parental conditional regard, Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version, and Helping Attitude Scale. Based on the
correlation matrix, conditional parental regard was negatively related to emotional-social skills and positively related to prosocial skills. As a result of multiple regression, it was found that parental conditional regard (academic and sports domains),
negatively correlated with emotional-social intelligence, while parental conditional regard (pro-social and sports domains)
correlated with pro-social behavior positively. In addition to future research, current findings are associated with certain
practical implications for parents, family counselors, and clinicians. There has also been a thorough discussion of limitations
