RELATIONSHIP OF PERCEIVED PARENTING STYLES, RESILIENCE AND LIFE SATISFACTION AMONG YOUTH

Abstract

Comprehending the complex relationship among youth’s perceived parenting styles, resilience and life satisfaction is essential to understanding their psychological well-being. The way a child is raised has a significant impact on how they perceive the world, behave, and grow as a person. The capacity for adaptation and recover from adversity or resilience is a critical factor in determining an individual’s ability to overcome obstacles in life. In the end, life satisfaction is a comprehensive evaluation of one’s fulfilment and contentment that considers the interactions between a variety of internal, and external circumstances. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived parenting style, resilience, and life satisfaction. Standardized scales were used to measure perceived parenting style, resilience, and life satisfaction. The results showed that males are more resilient than females, suggesting that there may be differences in gender-specific adaptive coping mechanisms. Authoritative parenting was found to have positive association with both resilience and life satisfaction, even though there were no gender differences in the reported parenting styles or life satisfaction.
