This current study aimed to investigate the role of parenting styles (authoritative,
authoritarian and permissive) with self-efficacy in academic performance among school
students. The total sample (184) of the study involved 92 parents and 92 school students
(male=50 female=42) between the age range of 14 and 16 years along with their parents.
The students were assessed with General Self-Efficacy Scale by Jerusalem and
Schwarzer with academic achievement level whereas parents were administered with
Parenting Authority Questionnaire-R by Rittman et al. The data were analyzed by using
Pearson’s Product Moment method of correlation and stepwise multiple regression.
The results explored that there is significant positive correlation(r=.35) between academic
achievement and self-efficacy among school students. The results revealed that there
is significant positive correlation between academic achievement and authoritative
parenting style(r=.56) among adolescents whereas authoritarian parents show negative
significant association with academic achievement (r=-.33). Stepwise regression analysis
identified two predictors of academic performance among school students, i.e.
authoritative & permissive parenting style which is jointly explained 36% variance in
dependent variable (academic performance).
