Parental Treatment Styles as Perceived by Adolescents and Their Relationship to Psychological Security Among Secondary School Students in Tamanrasset

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between parental treatment styles—as perceived by adolescents—and psychological security among secondary school students in Tamanrasset. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, with a randomly selected sample of 40 male and female students. The researchers utilized two validated instruments: the Parental Treatment Styles Scale (Yaghshi, 2015) and the Psychological Security Scale (Shaqir, 2005). Data were analyzed using SPSS software. The findings revealed: (1) a weak but statistically significant correlation between perceived parental treatment styles and psychological security; (2) a moderate level of psychological security among the participants; and (3) no statistically significant gender differences in adolescents’ perceptions of parental treatment styles. The results were discussed in light of prior literature and the socio-cultural context of the studied sample.
