The Effect of Parenting Style on Self-Concept Among Adolescents

Abstract This study explores the impact of various parenting styles on the self-concept of adolescents. Utilizing a sample of 200 adolescents (100 boys and 100 girls) from Chapra District, the study employs quantitative methods to analyze the relationships between authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles and self-concept. Statistical analyses reveal that authoritative parenting positively influences self-concept, while authoritarian parenting has a negative impact. Permissive parenting shows no significant effect. The findings emphasize the importance of parenting style in shaping adolescent self-concept and suggest practical implications for parenting practices.
