Abstract
This study assessed the relationship between parenting styles, psychological well-being and self-esteem among adolescents is Lebanon. A total of 162 adolescents were administered the Parental Authority Questionnaire, the Psychological Well-Being Scale and the Self-Esteem Scale. Statistical analyses were run, using correlational analyses, analyses of variance (ANOVA), and Independent samples T-test. The Psychological well-being was positively correlated with the perceived authoritative paternal parenting style but had no correlation with the perceived authoritarian paternal parenting style. Moreover, neither the perceived authoritative nor the authoritarian maternal parenting styles were correlated with psychological well-being. On the other hand, self-esteem was positively correlated with the perceived authoritative paternal and maternal parenting styles and negatively correlated with the perceived authoritarian paternal and maternal parenting styles. Furthermore, no correlation was found between the perceived authoritative maternal parenting style and daughters' self-esteem, while a positive correlation was found between the perceived authoritative paternal parenting style and daughters’ self-esteem. Finally, a significant positive correlation was found between the perceived authoritative maternal parenting style and daughters' autonomy.
