The parenting styles and psychological flexibility have been significant variables; however, little empirical work has addressed the impact of parenting in terms of the expansion of psychological flexibility. The present study investigated the impact of different parenting styles as a predictor of psychological flexibility in the adolescent population. A total sample of 100 adolescents (50 boys and 50 girls) whose ages ranged between 12 and 18 years without any previous psychiatric and medical history were recruited from different educational institutes of Pakistan. Results revealed that parenting styles are positively associated with psychological flexibility (r = 0.75, p < 0.05). Moreover, parenting styles significantly predict psychological flexibility among adolescents (p < 0.05). However, no gender differences were found across both variables among adolescents. These findings have highlighted the significance of parenting styles and psychological flexibility with respect to the mental health of adolescents.

父母的养育方式和心理柔韧性是重要的变量。然而，很少有实证研究从心理灵活性的扩展上解决养育子女的影响。本研究调查了不同的父母教养方式对青少年人口心理柔韧性的影响。从巴基斯坦不同的教育机构招募了总共100名青少年（50名男孩和50名女孩），他们的年龄在12至18岁之间，没有任何以前的精神病和医学史。结果表明，父母教养方式与心理适应性呈正相关（r  = 0.75，p  <0.05）。此外，父母的养育方式可以显着预测青少年的心理适应能力（p  ＜0.05）。但是，在青少年中，两个变量均未发现性别差异。这些发现凸显了父母教养方式和心理灵活性对青少年心理健康的重要性。
