Family is the first environment in which children grow up, and for this reason, it has a significant effect on their future behaviors. The encouragement, discouragement, premonitions, indifference, and behaviors that characterize the primary stages of children’s lives will influence their future lives..
This research aims to study the relationship between different parenting styles in order to identify aggression among adolescents in Zahedan city..
The present research is a cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study. The research population consisted of 206 high school students and their parents in Zahedan city, and the study was carried out during the winter and spring of 2014. The respondents were selected through cluster sampling and were evaluated using Baumrind’s parenting style questionnaire, as well as the AGQ aggression questionnaire..
According to the 206 questionnaires completed, there was a significant inverse relationship between authoritative parenting, and aggression (P = 0.02) and spitefulness elements (P = 0.023). In addition, there was a significant relationship between permissive parenting and anger (P = 0.01), and a direct significant relationship was also found between despotic parenting, and anger (P = 0.01) and aggression (P = 0.008)..
The results suggest that the best parenting style to lower aggression and its elements is the authoritative style. Dominant parents place more emphasis on independent behaviors. While they are kind and friendly, they also impose boundaries, direct their children toward independence, and pave the way to safeguarding their mental health.
