Abstract

As the general population of adolescents keeps growing in China, psychological symptoms and mental disorders such as depression among this cohort is likely to become a larger societal level issue in the foreseeable future as few studies demonstrated in Beijing and Guangdong,[1]which is alarming and stresses the importance to improve adolescents’ mental health well-being. The current study focused on investigating the interaction between adolescents’ perceived house hold parenting styles and their own mental health wellbeing. Questionnaires were distributed to students in China asking how do they perceive their parents’ parenting styles and BDI was used to measure participants’ depressive symptoms. The results indicated that participants who perceived their household parenting styles as authoritative are more likely to have higher BDI ratings which mean more depressive symptoms. An interaction between perceived parenting styles and gender was also found, and female participants were more susceptible to perceived authoritative parenting styles than male participants did.
