Parenting Styles, Anxiety, Subjective Well-BeingAbstract
The behaviour patterns of parents are found to be a factor that induces anxiety in children. Anxiety is said to be not something that is self-induced but one that is being induced in a child because of the patterns his or her parents follow. The kind of parenting style a person has also contributes towards the well-being of an individual. The current study aimed to see the relationship between parenting style, anxiety, and subjective well-being among college-going students in India. The study consisted 120 students among which 60 were male and 60 were females studying in different colleges. Results revealed that parenting styles of both mother and father had insignificant association with anxiety. The study also revealed that there is weak but positive and significant relationship between a mother’s permissive parenting style and subjective well-being among college students. There is also a significant positive relationship between both mother and father’s authoritative parenting style and subjective well-being. Negative and insignificant relationship was found between anxiety and subjective well-being among college students. Also, there is no significant gender difference in parenting styles of mother and father, anxiety and subjective well-being.Metrics
