Abstract

This study explored the relationship between perceptions of parenting (specifically authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive styles) and students’ college self-efficacy and academic entitlement. Results suggest that authoritative parenting promotes college self-efficacy and decreases academic entitlement, whereas permissive parenting encourages academic entitlement. Authoritarian parenting did not predict any of these variables.
