Abstract
This study aims to investigate the relationship between perceived parenting and perceived teaching styles on social maturity of adolescents. Random sampling technique was used to select the sample which comprised 479 school students of the Union Territory of Chandigarh. The tools used in this study were a) Parenting Style Scale by Bharadwaj, Sharma and Garg (1995), b) Perceived Teaching Styles Scale by the Investigator (2017) and c) Rao's Social Maturity Scale (2011). The results show that the favourable perceived parenting styles with perceived student-centred teaching style yielded higher mean scores of social maturity of adolescents as compared to low favourable perceived parenting styles with teacher-centred perceived teaching style.

The null Hypothesis Ho.1 with the assumption that there is no significant difference in total scores of Social Maturity of adolescents with Low and High Favourable Parenting Styles was rejected at ≤0.01 level of significance
An examination of the means of the two groups revealed that the group of students belonging to High Favourable Parenting Styles scored higher on Social Maturity as compared to the students belonging to Low Favourable
Summary
Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical and psychological development. This development phase is marked by the onset of puberty, emergence of more advanced cognitive abilities and the transition into new roles in society (Hill, 1987). An adolescent who has matured biologically, psychologically and sociologically has a smooth transition to adulthood In this way, adolescence is a process rather than a period, a process of achieving the desirable growth, attitudes, beliefs and methods for effective participation in society as the emerging adult. It is important to keep in mind that every parent-child relationship is different, so there is not one sure way to go about parenting This is a simple guide to help decode your parenting style and provide general suggestions on how to raise a happy, responsible, productive member of society. It appears that child's perception of parental attitude towards himself should be of great concern in the dynamics of behaviour and many open new avenues of research for deeper probe in the domain of parent child relationship. Rejection and encouragement shape the individual's view of the world, his attitudes toward society, conflicts and resolution
