Abstract
Parenting style is considered to be an important determinant of several aspects of children's outcomes and the current research aims to study the impact of phases of adolescence on perceived parenting. Convenient sampling procedure was employed to obtain a total sample of 450 adolescents (225 males and 225 females) from the north and south districts of Goa, who were administered a personal data sheet, Parenting Scale by R. L. Bharadwaj, H. Sharma, and A. Garg, Mental Health Battery by A. K. Singh & Alpana Sengupta and Rao's Social Maturity Scale by Nalini Rao. The data obtained was statistically analyzed using one way analysis of variance and post hoc anova to arrive at statistical conclusions. Results revealed significant differences as a function of phases of adolescence on overall perceived parenting and in dimensions of rejection v/s acceptance, carelessness v/s protection, and lenient standards v/s moralism and freedom v/s discipline. Urgent and need based implications for parenting and adolescent are hence arrived at.
