The impact of parenting style on adolescents’ developmental assets

Session

Psychology

Description

This study examines the relationship between parenting styles and developmental assets among Albanian adolescents. The sample consisted of 101 high school students in Kosovo, aged 15–18. Parenting styles were measured using the Parenting Style Inventory II (PSI-II), while developmental assets were assessed with the Developmental Assets Questionnaire. The results indicated that the authoritative parenting style is positively and significantly associated with higher developmental assets in adolescents (B = 1.702, p < .001). This highlights the role of supportive and balanced parenting in enhancing adolescents’ psychosocial well-being. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) on birth order revealed significant differences in several dimensions, including positive values (p < .001), commitment to learning (p < .001), constructive use of time (p = .045), and social support (p = .016). These findings suggest that one’s position within the family influences the development of key psychological and social assets during adolescence. The findings of this study recommend the development of psycho-educational training programs for parents and teachers, as well as policies that promote social support and constructive use of time among youth.
