| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the relationship between parenting style and bullying behaviour of general secondary and preparatory school adolescents in Shone town. A self-report questionnaire was used to obtain data from a sample consists of 177 both sex participants recruited from grades with the average age of 16. Results revealed that of the total 177 students: 27.6 % of the students were bullies, 45.7% were victims, and 26.5% were wittiness/bystander. Regarding the types of bullying, the most common bullying behaviour used by the bullies and experienced by the victims was verbal bullying. The findings of the study also showed that authoritative parenting style is more common among parents than other methods of parenting. Also the study revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between parenting style and adolescents’ attitude toward bullying behaviour. When gender, age and grade level were investigated in relation to bullying, meaningful differences were found. Based on the findings, recommendations were made including that parents should be encouraged to adopt the best parenting practices in the upbringing of their children because it has been found that authoritative parenting style is the method that yields the best result in child upbringing | en_US |
