Abstract

Research on parenting style is very important for the growth of adolescents. It affects the mental health and social adjustment of adolescents. There are generally three types of parenting styles: authoritative parenting, authoritarian parenting, and neglect parenting. Most studies on parenting styles uses Western samples and rarely involve comparisons across cultures. Due to the differences between Eastern and Western cultural backgrounds, the same parenting style has different effects on different children. Plus, the social adaptation of adolescents affected by the parenting style is also different. Authoritarian parents are rare in the West and are much criticized for. The difference is that authoritarian parents are common in the East, and their evaluations are also different from those in the West, which are recognized by most parents. A variety of different factors influence the social adjustment of adolescents. Although the main problems of social adjustment of adolescents in East and West are different, they are all caused by various incorrect and inappropriate parenting methods. The limitations of existing research are the lack of long-term surveys of adolescents and the lack of research on adolescents’ mental status. Future research can focus more on the connections between different cultures and psychological development, to better develop intervention methods for adolescents.
