There is no way in which parents can evade having a determining effect upon their children's personality, character, and competence. The functions of parenting greatly influence how children develop. Amidst the understanding of the importance of the parent-child relationship, it becomes crucial to decipher whether the parenting styles, especially of mothers, really influence the mental health of adolescents. The present study looked into the parenting styles of urban and rural mothers from the perspective of mental health of adolescents. The data was collected from a randomly selected sample of 100 adolescents from the district of Faridabad in the State of Haryana. Parenting Authority Questionnaire by Burie (1991) and Mental Health Inventory was administered to ascertain the parenting styles mothers and adolescents’ mental health. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the data. The analysis revealed that 'authoritative parenting style' does contribute towards the mental health of adolescents.
