- Abstract
The present study aims to explore the relationship between parenting styles and social anxiety among adolescents. It was hypothesized that there will be a significant relationship between parenting styles and social anxiety; and there will be gender differences in the parenting styles and also in the level of social anxiety among adolescents. Sample consisted of 200 students (100 boys, 100 girls) with an age ranged 18-20 years, taken from two universities of Lahore through stratified random sampling. Two assessment tools were employed to collect data; Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents, and Parental Attitude Inventory. Correlation, T-test, and two way ANOVA were used. Results revealed that there was significant relationship between parenting styles and social anxiety; the authoritarian and uninvolved parenting styles of mother and father were the significant predictors for social anxiety; and girls have higher level of social anxiety than boys. These results are compared with the earlier researches in this area and the importance of this study rests in its theoretical and practical implication in the field of developmental and social psychology and in everyday life.
