摘要：The purpose of this literature review is to examine how parenting styles influence psychosocial behavior in adolescents. Psychosocial behavior refers to an adolescent’s autonomy, identity, and achievement. This paper also examines Diana Baumrind’s research on specific parenting styles and the role parents play in helping to achieve proper psychosocial development. Erik Erickson’s psychosocial theory illustrates an adolescent develops through an “identity crisis” in which the adolescent begins to identify with a parent’s belief/values and how the parent views the adolescent. Parenting styles and practices as well adolescent self-concept are closely intertwined in adolescent psychosocial development
