Abstract

Student’s adjustment to school is one of the educational mandates. The present study was conducted in order to investigate the role of parenting and attachment styles in predicting the student’s adjustment to school. The method of this study was descriptive-correlational. The population of this study was comprised of all students of junior high school in Maragheh city during 2015-2016 academic year. The sample included 222 students randomly selected by multistage cluster sampling method. The questionnaires of perceived parenting styles, attachment styles and adjustment to school were used for collecting the data. The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results of the correlation coefficient showed that students adjustment to school had positive relationships with the authoritative parenting style (r=0.33 p< 0.001) and secure attachment style (r=0.43, p< 0.001) but negative relationship with insecure attachment (r=-0.32, p< 0.001). Results of regression analysis also showed that authoritative parenting style and secure attachment style were positively and non-secure attachment style were negatively able to predict student`s adjustment to school attachment styles. The results of this study revealed the reflective role of parent-child relationship quality in other social relationships, especially in relation to school.
