The Mediating Role of Impulsivity in the Relationship Between Parenting Styles and Stress Among Post-Primary Students in Sabzevar County

Thesis unit number: 6 Student thesis score in numbers: in letters: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between parenting style and stress with the mediating role of impulsivity in female students of the first grade of elementary school in Sabzevar city in 1404-05. This study is descriptive and correlational. The population of the present study consisted of all female students of the first grade of elementary school in Sabzevar city in 1404-05. The number of these students in the first, second and third grades was about 8 thousand students, based on statistics, and the research samples were selected in a stratified cluster of 125 people. Due to the dropout, 150 questionnaires were distributed, but ultimately 125 people formed the statistical population of the present study. The data collection tools and methods included the parenting styles questionnaires of Baumrind (1991), children's stress (SASC) of Mendez et al. (2008) and impulsivity (Barat et al.; 2004). In this study, data were analyzed using SPSS 28 and PLS software. Inferential and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics were used to examine and compare the mean and standard deviation of the variables, and inferential statistics were used to analyze the research hypotheses. The results showed that examining the significance coefficients of the model without the presence of a mediating variable indicates that the path between parenting style and stress is significant, and it can be concluded that, given the significance of this path and in accordance with the mediator variable analysis algorithm, the impulsivity variable can have a mediating effect. Considering the amount of variance inclusion and matching the mediator analysis algorithm with the modern bootstrapping method, the impulsivity variable is a partial mediator for the two parenting style and stress variables.
