Abstract
Adolescence is the most difficult and critical period of development for both adolescents and their parent. All parents have their own unique styles of dealing with their adolescents. Parenting
styles are effective factors which contribute to the good and bad development of adolescents. The way parents interact with their children has a direct effect on their development– their level of confidence and self-esteem, their sense of security, their emotional
intelligence, the way they relate to others, how they deal with authority,
and their performance in school. Thus we can say that parenting styles play an important role in influencing adolescents emotional intelligence
and self-esteem.
The aim of the study was to:
Assess the relationship between perceived parenting styles,
emotional intelligence, and self-esteem among adolescents.
Sample: Multi-stage random sample of 340 students was
randomly selected who were fulfilling the following inclusion and
exclusion criteria; both genders, age ranges from 14-18 years, accept
to participate in the study, First and the second year of secondary
school, both parents and free from any physical and psychiatric illness
Design: A descriptive correlational design was utilized in the
conduction of this study.
Setting: This study was conducted at one mixed secondary
school at Saft-Gedam, Tala city, Menoufyia Governorate to be
representative of the target population. The following instruments were used to fulfill the aim of the
study:

level.
Part (2): Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ)
PAQ is a 30-item scale developed by Buri designed to measure
adolescents’ perception of parenting styles .It was translated by the
researcher into Arabic. The PAQ contains three sub-scales:
authoritarian, authoritative and permissive. Students were asked to
indicate their agreement with each question using a five-point Likert
scale ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”.
Tool (2) Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale
The scale is a 10-item scale developed by Rosenberg designed to

Likert scale ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”.
