Abstract
Enhancing people’s quality of life and their mental health is one of the challenges for the “World Health Organization”. As parents have a close interpersonal relationship with their children, they play an important role in changing their children’s quality of life and mental health. However, the important question is whether parents’ child rearing styles affect children’s quality of life and mental health. The purpose of this article is to investigate the role of parents’ child rearing styles in children’s quality of life and mental health. The main hypothesis is that the parenting styles have a significant role in predicting the quality of life and mental health. The population of the research included all of the high school students in Neyshabour city as well as their parents who were selected through a random sampling method. For data collection, Baumrind’s parents’ child rearing styles, the quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) and Goldberg’s mental health questionnaires were employed. For data analysis in the descriptive level mean, standard deviation and Pierson’s correlation methods were utilized, and Multiple Regression Test was used at the inference level. The findings show that the main hypothesis is approved.

Summary
The quality of life and mental health are two of the main factors of the general concepts of health (Park, 1995). The definition of the “World Health Organization” for the quality of life is as follows: people’s evaluation and perception of their own life status is under the influence of the cultural and value systems in which they are living, and the aims, expectations, standards and a persons’ needs that are extremely affected by his/her physical and mental status, the extent of independency, social relations and beliefs (WHO-QOL group, 1996; Mirkhani, 2001). Based on this comprehensive definition, the quality of life has a close relationship with the physical and mental statue, personal beliefs, self-sufficiency rates, social relationships and environment. Cella (1994), Cynthia (1998) and Evnase (1989) have defined the quality of life as one’s satisfaction with all the aspects of life including mental, social, economic, cultural, spiritual and sexual ones
