Abstract
The paper presents the results of a study with a sample of 848 adolescents between 12 and 17 years who completed a questionnaire that included a 6 dimensions scale about their perception of maternal and paternal educational style and other measures of adolescent adjustment. The results of cluster analysis showed 3 groups of mothers and fathers that were defined as: authoritative, strict, and indifferent. The study has permitted us to create a bi-directional model which categorises the relationships between parents and adolescents and which includes factors such as self-disclosure, sense of humour and the encouragement of adolescent independence. These factors enrich the traditional perspective based solely on affection and discipline. The parenting style of mothers and fathers, evaluated separately, showed a high coincidence and furthermore showed a significant relationship with adolescent well-being.
