Abstract
The study aims to analyze whether parental attitudes (democratic, protective, and authoritarian) predict subjective well-being and life satisfaction of university students. Subjects in the study were 414 students, 221 female and 193 male. Perceived Parental Attitudes Scale, Subjective Well-Being Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale were used as data collection tools. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used in the analysis of data. Positive significant relationship was found between democratic parental attitude and subjective well-being and life satisfaction scores; negative relation was found between protective and authoritarian parental attitude and subjective well-being and life satisfaction scores (p < .001). According to regression analysis, perceived parental attitudes predict subjective well-being and life satisfaction significantly

Summary
Subjective well-being is defined as individuals’ regarding their lives as being valuable (Diener, 2000). Subjective well being is a term related to a person’s being aware of his potential, purpose of life and psychological well-being which determines interpersonal relationships (Ryff & Keyes, 1995). There are three points which determine the level of subjective wellbeing: general life satisfaction, multitude of positive feelings and scarcity of negative feelings (Myers & Diener, 1995). Subjective well-being is the overall evaluation about how individuals regard their life in various aspects. If individuals are satisfied with their living space and they experience more positive and less negative feelings, it can be said that they have a high level of subjective well-being, since it depends on the measurement of positive feelings
