Abstract :

The present study was undertaken to observe the correlation between parenting and mental health. The present study was an observational study. 50 males and 50 females belonging to age group of 14 to 18 who have been raised by both parents were included in the present study by the convenience sampling method. The Parenting Scale and The Mental Health Battery were used in this study. The results of the study showed that the relationship between perceived parenting and mental health among adolescents was not significant, suggesting that there is not much of a relationship that exists between the two variables. We recommend that further study needs to be done with a higher sample size and also demographic variables such as age, socioeconomic status and gender differences should be taken into consideration.
