Abstract
The main objective of the present research was to explore the differences in
the perceived parenting styles i.e., authoritarian, authoritative and
permissiveness, among delinquent and non-delinquent adolescents.
Perceived parenting style is directly related with behavioral problems and
delinquency among adolescents. The sample (n=92) of juvenile delinquents
(n=46) was taken from Hyderabad jail. A matched random sample of nondelinquents (n=46) was also taken from Hyderabad. The age range of the
respondents was 15-19 years. Findings revealed significant differences in
the perceived parenting style among delinquents and non-delinquents.
Delinquents perceived more authoritarian paternal and permissive
maternal parenting style as compared to non-delinquents. Findings have
implications for the effective parenting and its influence on reducing
delinquency among youngsters.
