There are growing concern over the inability of students to regulate their emotion and displaying social incompetence. This incompetent lead to numerous difficulties for the students’ life such as involved in conduct issues and emotional challenges. The presence of a guiding figure plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's development. For children, the most influential and significant figures are their parents or caregivers. These primary caregivers hold importance responsibilities in providing guidance, support, and nurturing to children as they going through various stages of growth and learning. This means that, parent is one of the important figures that can contribute to children’s overall development including social emotional skills. The level of parenting involvement significantly influences the emotional competence of specific children. In conjunction with that, this study aims to examine the association between parental involvement (college, social and academic involvement) and social-emotional skills among private university students. Total number of 359 nursing students from two private universities were chosen to be the participants of this research. The instruments used are social emotional competence questionnaire (SECQ) and parental involvement survey (PIS) adapted from Bryan Oliver. Based on the result, it shows that there is significant positive low association between parental involvement and social emotional skills of private university student with p = .004, r = .151. This means that the higher the parental involvement, the higher the social-emotional skills among private university students.
