Abstract

The research explores how different parenting styles—authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive—relate to students’ sense of purpose and their ability to adapt to college life across academic, social, emotional, and attachment domains. A sample of 224 students was assessed using standardized scales for perceived parenting style, purpose in life, and college adjustment. The findings from Spearman’s rank correlation analysis highlight the interrelated roles of parental influence and individual motivation in shaping students’ adaptation to higher education.
