Abstract
The present research examined gender differences in perceived
parenting styles and socioemotional adjustment of adolescents
and examined relationship between these variables. It was
hypothesized that: a). There are gender differences in perceived
parenting styles and socioemotional adjustment; and b).
perceived parenting styles have differential relationship with
socioemotional adjustment. Sample comprised of 60
adolescents with equal number of girls and boys and was
recruited from different public schools in Rawalpindi. Parental
Authority Questionnaire (Buri,
1991) and Socioemotional
Adjustment Scale (Najam & Simeen, 1991) were used for
assessment. Girls perceived their parents as authoritative and
showed significantly better socioemotional adjustment as
compared to boys. Findings highlight importance of parenting
styles and their implications for socioemotional adjustment of
adolescents.
