Abstract
Parents have a significant role on adolescent’s way looking for their identity and independence. The successful parents nourish their children with such secure feelings that encourage them to be autonomous going towards their independence. Adolescence is a life period when a person starts to be more oriented inside instead of being psychologically depended upon family, and ideally saying parents wish to help their younger adolescent to develop his identity and let him try different ways to deal with day to day issues, which leads to learn new behavior. In this context the formation of identity and independence are not individual processes but a common and interdependent process where the adolescent and his parent take part. Different parenting styles play different role in identity formation for an adolescent. The present paper attempts to conceptually review the effect of different parenting styles on adolescents’ identity construction and direction for further research.
