The Relationship Between Perceived Mother s Authoritative Parenting Style and Adjustment Level to College for First Year Students Sarah Jullienne Macalester College Entry into college characterizes a new stage of life, a new adjustment where one has to take responsibilities on one s own, where one has to face a certain level of independence and emotional freedom. Parenting styles have often been considered as a factor related to adjustment to college. In the present study, the relationship between perceived mother s parenting style and adaptation to college was tested and measured by academic adjustment, social adjustment, the relationship with parents and the living in the dorm experience. The results obtained confirm that mother s parenting style relates to the relationship with parents and more specifically to the relationship with mother. However, no significant results were found between perceived mother s parenting style and the other adjustment variables that were measured.
