This study looks at the relationship between adolescent self-esteem, internet addiction, and parenting practices. Standardized measures for self-esteem, internet addiction, and perceived parenting style were used to gather data from [100 adolescents]. The findings suggest that there are weak but significant associations between permissive parenting and greater internet addiction, authoritative parenting and decreased internet addiction, and authoritarian parenting and higher internet addiction. Parenting styles were also shown to be associated with self-esteem; authoritative parenting was associated with higher self-esteem, whereas authoritarian parenting was associated with lower self-esteem. T-tests verify that parenting approaches that are authoritative or authoritarian differ significantly in terms of mean internet addiction and self-esteem scores. The results emphasize the role that parenting styles have in adolescents' overall wellbeing and recommend treatments that support authoritative parenting in order to foster better adolescent development. Ethical principles were strictly adhered to during the study.
