Relationship of Authoritarian Parenting with Self Esteem of Adolescents

In families with excessive parental control is followed by extreme punitiveness and coldness, the adolescent child might rebel against parental standards explicitly. Self esteem can be defined as an individual's attitude about him or herself, involving self evaluation along positive negative dimensions. The present study was conducted to find out the relationship between the authority parenting style with self esteem of adolescents. Rosenberg's Self Esteem Scale, Parental Authority Questionnaire and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale were used to collect data. Pearson's product correlation and t test were used to find out the results. The correlation was found to be 0.54 and the t value was 2.70. Both the values are statistically significant, and hence it is concluded that the the self esteem is negatively correlated to authoritarian parenting styles, and adolescent females have significantly lower self esteem than their male counterparts.
