Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between middle school students’ selfesteem and their perceived parental attitudes. This study follows a screening model, which utilizes the scales that measures the students’ perception of parental attitudes and self-esteem. This study was conducted on students in nine public middle schools in Istanbul during the 2012-2013 academic year. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was utilized for data analysis. The results indicate that students mostly perceive their parents’ attitudes as democratic. Moreover, it was observed that students had high self-esteem. As the democratic attitude, which is one of the sub-dimensions of parental attitudes, increases, a student’s self-esteem also increases. However, when the parents’ protective demanding and authoritarian attitudes increase, a student’s self-esteem decreases.
