Abstract: Parenting styles play a crucial role in shaping an individual’s psychological well-being, influencing their emotional regulation, self-esteem, and overall life satisfaction. This study examines the relationship between different parenting styles—authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive—and their impact on life satisfaction . Drawing from established theoretical frameworks, including Baumrind’s parenting typology, this research explores how varying parental approaches affect individuals’ mental health outcomes. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected through standardized questionnaires measuring perceived parenting styles and psychological well-being. The findings suggest that authoritative parenting and permissive parenting is positively associated with higher levels of life satisfaction , whereas authoritarian parenting styles shows negative effects on life satisfaction . The study highlights the importance of balanced parental involvement and its long-term influence on life satisfaction of adults . These findings have significant implications for parents, educators, and mental health professionals in fostering supportive environments that promote psychological well-being in children and adolescents.
