Theoretically, the results of this research are in line with the social learning theory and the attachment theory. The social learning theory states that children acquire behavior by observing and modeling the behavior of their parents and that is why parenting styles directly influence the behavior of children (Koutroubas & Galanakis, 2022). On the same note, the role of secure parent-child bonds in the development of emotional stability and psychological health is also highlighted in the attachment theory (Groh et al., 2017). The theoretical frameworks are consistent with the positive effect of authoritative parenting and the negative effect of authoritarian and permissive parenting that were realized in this study
