This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived parenting styles (autonomy support, involvement, and warmth) and self-esteem among young adults, and to examine the impact of gender on these perceptions. A sample of 180 young adults aged 18 to 25 was recruited using convenience and purposive sampling techniques. Participants completed an online survey including the Perceptions of Parents Scales (POPS) and Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale. Independent samples t-tests were used to explore gender differences in the perception of parenting styles, and Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to examine the relationships between perceived parenting behaviors and self-esteem. Females reported significantly higher levels of perceived autonomy support, involvement, and warmth from both mothers and fathers compared to males. Significant differences were observed in the perceptions of maternal versus paternal behaviors, with higher scores for maternal autonomy support, involvement, and warmth. Contrary to the hypothesis, perceived parenting behaviors were not significantly related to self-esteem. The findings highlight the influence of gender on perceptions of parenting styles, suggesting that females perceive higher levels of nurturing behaviors from both parents. The lack of significant correlation between perceived parenting styles and self-esteem indicates that other factors may be more critical in shaping self-esteem among young adults. The study underscores the importance of considering gender differences in parenting research and suggests the need for interventions that promote balanced and supportive parenting practices. Future research should address the study's limitations by employing longitudinal designs and broader sampling techniques to enhance the generalizability of the findings.
