        abstract = {This study investigates how childhood experiences influence emotional intelligence (EI) and self-efficacy in young adults. Drawing on Goleman’s theory of emotional intelligence and Bandura’s concept of self efficacy, the research explores the effects of early-life experiences such as family support, presence of a responsible adult, good friendships, neglect, and sense of belonging. Data were collected through self-report surveys from 100 Indian participants aged 18 to 40. Results show that positive childhood experiences significantly correlate with higher emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. These findings highlight the importance of nurturing early emotional environments and suggest implications for therapeutic, educational, and policy-based interventions to foster emotional resilience and personal agency.},
