Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of parenting styles in predictingbehavioral and emotional problems in adolescents.Methods: This study is a descriptive, cross sectional, and correlation research. All students enrolled in the first grade in boys’ guidance school of District 3 in Tehran city and their parents constituted the population. One hundred and eighty participants comprising 60 adolescents (boys) and their parents participated in the study. Convenience sampling method was used for recruiting these participants. Parents completed Baumrind’s Parenting Styles Questionnaire (PSQ; Baumrind, 1972) and students responded to the Seattle Personality Questionnaire for Children (SPQC; Greenberg & Kusche, 1990). A stepwise regression analysis was utilized to address the prediction power of Behavioral and emotional problemsResults: The results indicated that authoritarian style in fathers is associated with depression, as well as behavioral and emotional problems (total score). However, the authoritarian style in mothers is related to anxiety, depression, as well as behavioral and emotional problems (total score). Moreover, permissiveness in mothers is associated with conduct problems.Conclusion: The results are consistent with the results of previous studies stressing the role of parents in predicting children’s behavioral-emotional problems.

A study conducted by Wolfradt, Hemp- le, and Miles (2003) on 276 school students revealed a positive correlation between authoritarian parenting style and problems such as anxiety and depersonaliza- tion.
The result from Pearson product-moment correlation coeffi- cient represented that there was a significant relationship between parenting styles of permissive/authoritarian and psychological problems among teens.
Moreover, results obtained from correlation coefficient test between total score of Seattle questionnaire and authoritarian parenting style indicated that among 120 study respondents, Pearson correlation coefficient with significance level (Sig.
Another finding concerning the correlation coefficient test between children’s personality characteristics ac- cording to Seattle questionnaire and mothers’ parenting styles indicated that a significantly positive relationship existed between children’s behavioral problems and permissive parental style, also Pearson correlation co- efficient was calculated at 0.
