The aim of this research was to study the relationship of parenting manners of parent and the extent of anxiety among the students.
METHODS: This was a correlation type research in which the relationship between the variables was obtained. Statistical population included boy students of the junior high schools in Ilam City, Iran. The sample was selected based on Morgan table, and included 100 students. They were randomly selected in a multistep process. We selected two schools among junior high schools in Ilam City using random sampling. Then, we selected second-grade class in every school.
RESULTS: There was a positive and significant relationship between parenting manners (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive manners) with anxious thoughts among the students (P < 0.010). In addition, there was a positive and significant relationship between permissive parenting manner and anxious thoughts among the students
(P < 0.050). Independent variable explained 20% of changes in the dependent variable of anxious thoughts.
