Parenting styles in Rasht parents

Introduction: The parenting styles used in different periods of childhood can have an effect ‎on child personality evolution. Child and parents relationship in addition to comfort provision ‎and feeling reinforcement like trust, confidence, security and independence, can be a ‎predisposing factor for physical, psychological and especially social growth and maturity or ‎vice versa‏ ‏in‏ ‏adolescence.‎  Objective: This study was conducted to determine parenting styles in parents with ‎adolescence in Rasht.‎ Methods: The present study is a descriptive study in which ‎‏150‏‎ adolescents between ‎‏14-16‏‎ ‎years old were selected by cluster sampling from Rasht high schools. Data collection ‎instrument consisted of a two parts questionnaire including adolescent and family ‎demographic information and parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) for measuring mother and ‎father´s relationship quality that were completed by adolescents and analyzed by SPSS ‎‏15‏‎.‎ Results: The findings showed that mean and standard deviation of care and protection were ‎‏15‏‎.‎‏39±3‏‎.‎‏68‏‎ and ‎‏16‏‎.‎‏63±4‏‎.‎‏22‏‎ in fathers, and ‎‏13‏‎.‎‏45±4‏‎.‎‏22‏‎ and ‎‏14‏‎.‎‏40±4‏‎.‎‏81‏‎ in mothers ‎respectively and parents based on instrument grading had "Affectionless control".‎ Conclusion: The results showed that parents were cool with children. They inhibit children's ‎independence and progress by overprotection and low care.
