Abstract
This study examines the moderating role of acculturation and school type (Iranian vs. International schools) on the association between parenting style and positive psychological development (PPD) among Iranian youth in Malaysia. Some 194 Iranian adolescents were selected from Iranian and International schools using the stratified random sampling method. The Iranian Version of the Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA), Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ), and Positive Youth Development-Short Form (PYD-SF) were employed. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used for data analysis. The results indicated that acculturation moderated the association between father involvement and poor monitoring in the PPD of adolescents. Moreover, positive parenting moderated the correlation between the total scores for acculturation and PPD, although the school type did not. The current study has indicated the importance of the role of acculturation on the association between parenting and PPD of migrated Iranian adolescents in host countries.

According to Erikson, the social and cultural variables are one of the most critical factors that affect the positive well-being of adolescents. As a result, changing the social environment such as migration to another culture is a crucial trigger for adolescence crisis. The phenomenon of migration (either temporary or permanent) to other countries is one of the critical issues affecting many developing countries. According to the United Nations (2019), there are 37.85 million international immigrants under the age of 19, which represents 13.9 percent of all international immigrants. Many international immigrants under the age of 20 belong to Asian countries such as Iran
