So, 250 high school students of Tabas were selected by multistage cluster sampling. It was a descriptive-correlation research and to obtain data, Lazarous and Folkman coping strategies (1988), Bamrind perceived parenting style questionnaire (1991) and Boufard et al. self-regulatory scale (1995) were used. Data analysis was carried out by Pearson correlation test and step by step multivariate regression analysis. Findings indicate that there is significant correlation between parenting styles with coping strategies and self-regulatory learning (P<0.05, P<0.01). also the results indicate that authoritative parenting style predicts emotion regulation coping style in negative direction and permissive parenting style predicts problem regulation coping strategies in negative direction (P<0.01, P<0.05). according to the results, it is obvious that permissive parenting style predict self-regulatory learning strategies in negative direction (P<0.01). these findings can create new substrates for optimal interventions in improving coping strategies status and self-regulatory learning by emphasizing on perceived parenting styles among students and adolescents. It also presents some teachings for practitioners in teaching, counseling and psychology in importance of parenting styles.
