Abstract
Parents are the main influence on a child’s life. They not only nurture the child physically but their styles of nurturance contribute to the development of the child’s psyche of particular interest is the influence of parenting styles on children’s academic achievement and various psycho social aspects of development. The crescendo of this nurturance is probably in adolescence when children are preparing for, or even on, the threshold of adulthood. Indian culture traditionally sets great importance on respect due to age. This means that parents put great emphasis on acquiescence and obedience from their children. Modern society sometimes decries the erosion of these values. Yet social transformation in the present time may imply that parenting styles in India are also changing. For instance, expected compliance is often replaced with appeals to the child’s reasoning and judgment. The investigator has constructed a scale to measure the style of parenting on adolescents, in particular, three age groups adolescents. By administering it educators may obtain an idea about the parenting styles of parents on their adolescents . . In this study parenting styles are classified in to four categories like Authoritarian or Power asserting disciplinarians , Authoritative or Warm giving protectors , Permissive or Lenient freedom givers, Uninvolved or Selfish autonomy givers. Parenting Style four factor questionnaire (PSFFQ) is mainly constructed as a tool for measuring parenting Styles of adolescent's parents.
Keywords- Authoritarian, Power asserting, disciplinarians , Authoritative, Warm giving, protectors , Permissive, Lenient, freedom givers, Uninvolved, Selfish, autonomy givers.
