The present study examined the relationship of parenting styles
(permissive, authoritative, authoritarian) with aggression and
alexithymia in emerging adult university students. Total 200
participants between ages 18 to 29 years (M=21.72; SD=1.53), 100
males between 19 to 29 years (M=21.87; SD=1.47) and 100 females
between 18 to 26 years (M=21.58; SD=1.58) participated in this
research. Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), Buss-Perry
Aggression Questionnaire and Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20)
were used for assessment. Correlational research design was used.
Group testing was done. The results showed that permissive and
authoritarian parenting styles were positively correlated with
aggression and alexithymia in the sample. On the other hand,
authoritative parenting style was negatively correlated with aggression
and alexithymia. Authoritarian mother and authoritative mother
parental style significantly predicted aggression, permissive mother
and authoritarian mother parental styles significantly predicted
alexithymia. These results highlight the significance of impact of
parenting on emotional and behavioral problems in adulthood. These
findings have clear implications for developing cognitive therapy
based programs with a special focus on positive parenting, reducing
aggression and alexithymia, particularly for the psychoeducation of
offspring, parents and guardians.
