The present paper entitled “Academic Achievement and Parenting Styles: A Correlational Study”
was conducted to find out the relationship between Academic Achievement and Parenting Styles of
school students. In the present study the Parenting styles (i.e. authoritative, authoritarian, permissive
and neglectful) is the independent or predictor variable and Academic Achievement is the dependent
variables of this study. The co-relational research was found to be the most suitable design for the
selected independent variable to serve the purpose of the present study. Parenting Styles scale,
developed by Lamborn et al., based on Maccoby and Martin’s (1983) revision of Baumrind’s (1967,
1971) parenting style conceptual framework, was adapted to measure parenting styles. Scores of 10th
Class CBSE Examination have been taken as indicator of Academic Achievement. Stratified Random
sampling technique was used to collect the data from a sample of 400 Adolescent students of 11th
grade studying in CBSE affiliated Senior Secondary schools of Haryana. Inferential statistics like
Pearson’s Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation (r) and t-test were used to see the relation and
difference between variables. Main findings of the study revealed that there is no significant
relationship between Academic Achievement and Parenting style (Authoritative, Neglectful and
Permissive Parenting style) of senior secondary school students. There is no significant relationship
between High Academic Achievement and Parenting Styles of senior secondary school students
whereas the Low Academic Achievement and Parenting styles are positively related to each other.
There is significant difference between male and female Senior Secondary School students on
Academic Achievement.
