IntroductionParenting styles have been broadly defined by Baumrind into three categories: authoritarian, authoritarian, and permissive. Parenting styles can be defined as a pattern of attitudes in the way parents choose to express themselves and communicate with their children. These styles are classified based on level of care, parental control, and level of responsiveness (Dwairy, 2004). The authoritarian style exhibits high levels of demandingness, responsiveness, and support; the authoritarian style presents high levels of demandingness but low levels of responsiveness, the permissive style presents low levels of demandingness but high levels of responsiveness and support (Dwairy, 2004). These parenting styles have been proposed to have a significant impact on a child's development as well as their academic achievement and psychological well-being. According to Baumrind's category of styles, children raised by authoritative parents are reported to have the highest levels of academic achievement, self-esteem, emotional adjustment, and well-being (Dwairy, 2004). However, these three categories are based on Western samples and are believed to describe primarily Western parenting styles and call into question its limitations in describing parenting across cultures, as the patterns defining each style may have different meanings across different cultures. crops. , Costanzo and Putallaz examined the relationship between parenting styles, socialization goals, and socio-emotional adjustment among Chinese and European American young adults.
