Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2024 in the subject Sociology - Work, Education, Organisation, , course: AP Research, language: English, abstract: This research study originated from an initial curiosity of "To what extent do parenting styles impact the academic performance of high school students?". After conducting research, it was found that a gap exists in the area of investigation regarding the impact of parenting styles on the academic performance of high school students. Therefore, the research examines the effects of parenting styles on the academic performance of high school students aged 15-17 in Turkey and the USA. The study focuses specifically on the influence of authoritative and permissive parenting on academic achievement on a cross-cultural level. As the primary data collection method, surveys were distributed to participants from a public high School in Gaziantep, Turkey, and a public high school in Ventura county. The data collected from sixty-nine participants revealed significant differences in parenting styles between the two countries on opposite sides. A majority of students from the USA were exposed to authoritative parenting. At the same time, participants from Turkey seemed to have an equal distribution of parenting styles, though authoritative was slightly more common than permissive.
