TI  - The Effect of Parenting on Teenagers' Decision to Drop out of School
AB  - Previous research has indicated the gravity of both parenting and parental bond on a child's successful upbringing. In this, four main styles of parenting have been identified, known as authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and neglectful. While recent research addressed the role of parenting on academic success; additional factors include self-esteem, behavioural inhibition and behavioural activation; whereas the main types of parental bond include affectionate constraint, affectionless control, optimal parenting and neglectful parenting. The current study takes the aforementioned research one step further by examining if self-esteem, strength of goal orientation, parental bond and their parent's child rearing method has an effect on a teenagers' decision to drop out of school. Results indicated that the permissive parenting style and affectionate constraint were the best predictors of student's decision to remain in education. Additionally, participants who had decided to drop out of school displayed lower levels of self-esteem, behavioural inhibition and behavioural activation.
