Abstract Parenting styles is a determining and effective factor that has an important role in psychopathology and child development. Quality of parent-child relationship has significant effects on self-esteem and mental health of children. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship among parenting styles with resiliency and happiness of students. Research method in this study was correlation. The study population was all of students (male-female) of Islam Shahr that were studying in 2012. The final sample of research was 386 students (193 girls-193 boys) who were selected by multistage cluster sampling. For data gathering Baumrind parenting styles questionnaire, Oxford happiness test and Connor Davidson resilience scale were used. Also for data analysis Pearson correlation test and regression analysis were used. The results showed that there is a negative significant relationship between authoritarian parenting style and resiliency and happiness in students. In addition, there is a positive significant relationship between permissive parenting styles and happiness of students. But permissive parenting style was not significantly related to resiliency. Also there was a relation among authoritative parenting style with happiness and resilience of the students. Totally, results indicated that authoritarian parenting style can predict resiliency and happiness negatively in students. Also permissive and authoritative parenting styles positively predict happiness in students. But, authoritative parenting style can predict resiliency and happiness more strongly in students.

Abstract he purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between perceived parenting styles, identity styles and commitment in adolescents and causal model of these variables witch proposed by Berzonsky (2004). A total of 415 third-grade high school students (187 male and 238 female) were selected via cluster sampling method. Data collected by perceived parenting styles questionnaire, Berzonsky’s identity processing styles questionnaire and then analyzed using correlation, regression analysis and path analysis. Results showed that parenting styles and identity styles predict thirty one percent of variance of commitment. Also, identity styles were predicted significantly by parenting styles. The results of path analysis showed that causal model proposed by Berzonsky (2004) was not fitted in this study. Probably with regarding to the importance of ethnicity and cultural differences of Iran society and age differences, causal model proposed by Berzonsky (2004) was not confirmed in Iranian adolescents. However, in general, mother parenting styles and identity processing styles are good predictors of commitment of Iranian adolescents.
