Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between perceived parenting
styles and resilience in adolescence. The respondents were a sample of 360 English
speaking, multi-cultural subjects, with a mean age of 17,6 years. Hierarchical regression
analyses were used to investigate these results. The criterion variables included sense of
coherence (measured by Antonovsky's Orientation to Life Questionnaire) and problemfocused,
emotion-focused and dysfunctional coping strategies (operationalised by means
of the COPE scale). The predictor variables included six scales, namely mother's
permissiveness, father's permissiveness, mother's authoritarianism, father's
authoritarianism, mother's authoritativeness and father's authoritativeness (measured by
means of the Parental Authority Questionnaire). Authoritative parenting provided the
most significant contribution to the explanation of the variance in resilience for both
culture groups and both sexes.
