dc.description.abstractAdolescence is transition period from a relatively dependent childhood to the adulthood’s psychological, social and economic independence. Adolescence is an important phase for parents and children. They make special efforts to understand one another. The proper role of the parents is to provide encouragement, support and access to activities that enable the child to master key developmental tasks.Parenting style is one of the vital variables of personality growth and development in adolescence. Personality and identity formation during adolescence is influenced by the dyadic parent-child association (Schofield et al. 2012). Children learn about moral values from how parents share about rules and the penalties of violating them, but they absorb even more when parents conversation about people’s feelings and how those feelings are affected by the child’s conduct (Killen and Smetana, 2006). The current research is about connection between parenting styles with moral and personality development of adolescents, which wasconducted in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. Current research was planned using exploratory research design. The sample was selected randomly, 180respondentswho are in the age of 12-21 years and their parents (either of the parent). The study focused on child related, parent related and family related factors which includes age, gender, education/ class of study, ordinal position, parent education, parent occupation, type of family, size of family and socio- 12 economic status, parenting styles. Personality and moral developmentwere dependentvariables. The personal information of the selected sample was collected through general information schedule. The data related to parenting patterns adopted by the parents was collected through a standardized scale developed Shyny. T.Y and V. G. Omana in 2017which consists of fourparenting styles i.e. Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive and Uninvolved. The personality development of adolescents was assessed by using a Big Five Personality test developed by Goldberg in 1992 which comprised of 5dimensions i.e. Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness to experience. The moral development of adolescents was assessed by using Moral Development scale developed by Alpanan Sen Gupta and Shagufta Fakhrudden in 2015 which consists of five dimensions i.e. Lying, Stealing, Dishonesty, Cheating and Moral reasoning. Most of the parents of selected adolescents were not well-educated and are from nuclear families and nearly one third of them are from upper middle, lower middle and upper lower class of socio-economic status. Majority of the parents of selected adolescents adopted democratic parenting and only few of the parents adopted permissive and authoritarian parenting styles. The data regarding personality factors revealed that early adolescents had high level of agreeableness and low level of neuroticism. Conscientiousness and agreeableness personality factors seem to be high in middle adolescents. Late adolescents scored high on positive personality traits and low in negative traits. Irrespective of adolescents age, openness to experience, conscientiousness, agreeableness dimensions had high level in adolescents and low level of extraversion and neuroticism. Gender of the respondents did not differ much in all the personality factors. Early adolescents had scored high in moral development as compared to middle and late adolescents. Irrespective of age, majority of the adolescents scored high level of moral development followed by low and medium. Boys and girls did not differ significantly in moral development. The outcomes of the current study showed that, Democratic parenting was found to have positive relation with extraversion and agreeableness. Authoritarian parenting had negative relationship with conscientiousness and agreeableness personality factors. Permissive parenting had significant and negative related with openness to experience 13 and uninvolved parenting has a positive relation with agreeableness, neuroticism personality factors of adolescents. Among demographic variables, age, education was correlated with openness to experience, conscientiousness and agreeableness personality factors. Gender was positively correlatedwithconscientiousness and negative relationship with openness to experience personality factors. Socio-economic status had positive relation with neuroticism personality factor only. Democratic and authoritarian parenting was positively significantly correlated with adolescents moral development. Neglected and indulgent parenting had negative relation with adolescentsmoral development. Among demographic variables, gender, family size, family type had positive relationship with moral development of adolescent. Socio-economic status and adolescent’s moral development was found to be negatively significant. Hence, Democratic parenting style is good than the other parenting styles and it has good impact on adolescent’s personality and moral development. Similarly joint families contributing better in adolescent’s moral development as compared to nuclear families.en_US
