Parenting styles and resilience

One of the effective factors in shaping and growth of resilience is style of parent-child relationship. The present study investigated the relationship between the parenting styles and resilience. Three-hundred-fifty Shiraz University students (235 females and 115 males) were participants of the study. Steinberg's Parenting Styles Scale (2005) and Canner-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used as measures of the study. Simultaneous multiple regression of CD-RISC total score on the parenting styles subscales, revealed that the “acceptance-involvement” style was significant positive predictor of the resilience, whereas the “psychological autonomy-granting” and “behavioral strictness-supervision” styles didn’t had a significant predict power for the resilience.
