ABSTRACT The study examined the influence of parental education, family income and parenting style among college students. A stratified random sample of 300 college students was selected for the conduct of present study giving due weightage to gender and stream of study. The Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) by Buri (1991) was used. The results of the study showed that there is a significant difference in parenting style across high and low levels of maternal and paternal education among college students. It also revealed that there is no significant difference in parenting styles across high and low level of family income of parents among college students. The findings of the study should be useful to guide parents and educators as they attempt to develop programmes especially for adolescents to explore their world freely and make healthy commitments enhanced by democratic approach of parents.
