Abstract

This study aims to find out the relationship between parenting style, bullying and self-esteem
among school students. This study looks at how parenting style influences children's self-
esteem and bullying behavior. Authoritarian parenting leads to more positive self-esteem, and
authoritarian and neglectful parenting leads to bullying and low self-worth. Bullying does
contribute to lower self-esteem but is not one of these cases of a bully or victim. The outcomes
of these findings indicate the need for positive parenting as well as anti-bullying programs to
promote good emotional growth. The sample of two hundred participants will be selected
using connivence sampling between the age ranges from 14 to 18 year. Self-report measure of
Parenting styles Scale (Kurukkan, A. et al., 2016), Bullying Scale (Olweus & Limber et al.,
2016) and Self Esteem Scale (Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale et al,.2019) will be used for data
collection.

Keywords: parenting styles, bullying and self-esteem


Introduction
Adolescence is a time of physical, psychological, and mental growth that follows
maturity. Parents and others needed to pay attention during this crucial period. (Saleh et al.,
2021)

The term "parenting style" describes the general method and technique that parents use to
raise and discipline their kids. It is defined by behavioral patterns that include the degree of
responsiveness (warmth and support) and demandingness (expectations and control). This idea
sums up how these actions affect kids' behavioral, social, and emotional growth. (Georgiou et
al., 2017)

Bullying is defined as repeated acts of aggression by one or more people targeted at a


weaker person, with a power disparity that makes it challenging for the victim to protect
oneself. It can happen verbally, physically, socially, or online (cyberbullying), and it negatively
impacts the victim's self-esteem and academic achievement. (Obregon-Cuesta et al., 2022)

Self-esteem refers to an individual's thoughts and feelings regarding their own value and
significance. The degree to which an individual regards themselves is reflected in their sense
of self-worth and self-respect. (Peng et al., 2021)

Literature Review
Parenting style has effects on children's social, emotional, and academic competencies.
Authoritative parenting has been found positively linked to high social competencies, good
emotional competencies, and psychological adjustment, whereas authoritarian parenting was
related to lower well-being (Steinberg et al., 1994); (Grusec et al., 1994); (Pomerantz et al.,
2005). Indulgent parenting results in high well-being but poor achievement, and the neglectful
parenting has the lowest competence. In the case of bullying, positive parenting protects against
involvement, with negative parenting, such as authoritarian or neglectful styles, increasing in
bullying behaviors (Turkish study, 2020); (Dutch study, 2019). Research studies also show that
nurturing parenting improves self-esteem, indulgent parents showing the greatest self-esteem and
authoritarian parent the lowest self-esteem showed (Hosogi et al., 2012); (Yang & Liang, 2008);
(García & Gracia, 2009). Parents' emotional warmth and support are fundamental to self-esteem,
but negative parenting deteriorates it (Yang & Zhou, 2008). Longitudinal research must be
performed to understand the long-term outcomes of these parenting orientations better.

Theoretical Framework

Baumrind divides parenting styles into four primary categories: permissive, authoritarian,
authoritative, and neglectful. Each method has a distinct effect on children's conduct, sense of
self, and bullying experiences. These parenting philosophies relate to the connection between
bullying, self-esteem, and parenting.

Authoritarian parenting improves social skills and self-esteem, which reduces the
likelihood of bullying (Hong et al., 2020); (Erlin He et al., 2023). Authoritarian parenting
results in anxious, insecure children, whereas permissive parenting produces fragile youngsters
who rely on peer validation. Neglectful parenting raises the risk of bullying and reduces self-
esteem (Baumrind, 1991).

Cultural values determine parenting styles, which influence child development (Harwood
et al., 2017). Parenting in collectivist societies prioritizes conformity and group cohesion,
which may limit autonomy while promoting social harmony (Leung et al., 2016). Parenting in
individualistic Western cultures encourages independence and self-expression, which fosters
autonomy but can also lead to a lack of clear boundaries, affecting emotional control and
socialization.

Rationale

This study will investigate the relationship between parenting style, bullying and self-
esteem. Parenting styles impact adolescent self-esteem and bullying. Authoritative parenting
boosts self-esteem and resilience, while authoritarian or neglectful styles increase vulnerability
to bullying (Driscoll et al., 2013); ICPsyche P et al., 2023) ; (Smith & Jone et al., 2020).
Cultural factors, like conformity pressures, can also influence bullying and aggression (Lee &
Nguyen et al., 2019). Therefore, both parenting and culture shape adolescents' self-view and
social behavior (Brown & Taylor et al., 2021).

Previous literature done on parenting styles and bullying. (ICPsyche P et al., 2023), also
there are literature that are done on parenting styles and self esteem (Driscoll et al., 2013). But
there are limited research done on theses three variables parenting style, bullying and self-
esteem collectively.

Instruments

Parenting style Scale-Adolescent

Gafoor and Kurukkan were the developers of the scale titled Scale of Parenting Style
(SPS), using a 40-item tool that is self-report on four parenting styles: authoritarian,
authoritative, permissive, and neglectful, with a 5-point Likert scale. On a reliability of
0.86 ,and Test re test 0.82 the cut-off scores of the scales will be as follows: (for authoritative,
36 to 50; for authoritarian 26 to 35, for permissive 16 to 25, while for neglectful 0 to 15
(Kurukkan, A. et al., 2016).

Bullying Scale

The Olweus Bullying Scale is a 16-item self-reporting measure with subscales on


bullying and victimization. Each subscale comprises 8 items. Its reliability is good, at
Cronbach's alpha 0.85 for victimization and 0.83 for bullying. Scores based on a 5-point Likert
scale, 0-4 have cutoff scores for bullying and victimization categorized as low, moderate, and
high: 0-1 for low, 2-3 for moderate, and 4+ for high. This scale is part of the Olweus Bullying
Prevention Program (Olweus & Limber et al., 2016).

Self Esteem Scale

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale has10 items and good reliability, with Cronbach's
alpha at 0.77-0.88, and test-retest reliability of 0.82. Cutoff scores are low self-esteem at 15-
25; moderate self-esteem, 26-35; and high self-esteem, 36-40. These values can be general
guidelines and may vary depending on population and context. Items are rated on 4-point
Likert scale (Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale et al,.2019).
Limitations

1. The sample study includes only school students.


2. Correlational research design only focuses on relationship not on cause.
Implications

1. This study will help adolescents identify key well-being resources for school and home
setting
2. It will link parenting styles, bullying, and self-esteem.
