PARENTING STYLES DURING ADOLESCENCE AND THEIR IMPACT ON UNDERGRADUATES’ SELF-ESTEEM

Abstract

This study is motivated by the need to understand how different parenting styles during adolescence influence self-esteem in undergraduate students, and this study explores the impact of parenting styles during adolescence on the self-esteem of undergraduates. Using a quantitative survey approach, the data were collected from undergraduate students from the Faculty of Management of the University of Kelaniya. The primary focus is on investigating how parenting styles during adolescence impact on the self-esteem of undergraduates. The research acknowledges that the self-esteem of undergraduates may differ depending on the parenting styles they have experienced during their adolescence. A comprehensive literature review leads to the foundation of the research, integrating theories and verifiable findings regarding the variables. The conceptual framework shows the interaction between self-esteem and parenting styles. Using a quantitative research approach, the study uses surveys and SPSS analysis to collect and interpret data. By exploring the relationship among these variables, this research expects to provide a deep comprehension of how these parenting styles influence the self-esteem levels of undergraduates.
