The effect of parenting on self-esteem and self-efficacy in adolescents sabzevar

This research has been done to examine the effect of child-educating methods on the self-respect and self-efficiency of the youth of Sabzevar. The method of the research was a comparative description. The statistical society of this research included all of the youth who were students at the first course of high schools in Sabzevar on the education year of 2016-2017. To gain this goal, 368 students have been chosen as statistical samples by use of the multi-process random sampling method. The tools used in this research were the Baumrind child–educating method questionnaire, the Rosenberg self-respect and the self-efficiency of Sherer et al. Then the collected data have been analyzed by the use of the descriptive statistics and the deductive statistics by the aid of the 22- edition SPSS software. The results of variance analysis showed that the child-educating methods have had significant effects just on the self-efficiency of the youth not on their self-respect and this was as so that the powerfully child-educating method has been more effective in increasing the self-efficiency of youth than the both arbitrarily and leniently methods. Furthermore, the results of co-variance analysis showed that the sexuality variant could not make any change in the relationship of the child-educating methods on the self-respect and self-efficiency of the Sabzevar youth. Also the results showed that the powerfully child-educating method has been the prevailing child-educating method among parents.
