Abstract
Based on results of previous western research, associations regarding three parental dimensions (parental psychological control, parental behavioral control, and parental support) and a measure of Anxiety/Depression and Delinquency were assessed in a sample of Lebanese middle class youth (N=214). All data were adolescent self-reports by way of school administered questionnaires, in convenient samples of two English schools. Bi-variate correlations, and linear regression were conducted to test for the hypotheses. Several associations were revealed between parenting dimensions and youth outcomes including: a positive relationship between paternal psychological control and anxiety/depression among youth; a negative relationship between parental behavioral control and delinquency; and a negative relationship between both paternal support and anxiety/depression and parental support and delinquency among youth. Results across gender and grade level are discussed further.
