In today’s society, students of all ages illustrate a reflection of how they are raised based on their academic achievement. The specific ways that these students are being raised are categorized into three different parenting styles. The three main qualitative parenting styles include authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive (Glasgow, Dornbusch, Troyer, Steinberg & Ritter, 1997). It is important to know that educational outcomes are not solely based on the efforts of the student. The successes or failures that a student may come across may be attributed to factors that the student cannot control. One of these factors that the student cannot control is parenting styles. The proposed research study will examine how parenting styles

This topic is important to study because academic achievements are not always achieved by what the student has done. Academic achievements can also be a reflection of how the child is raised. There are three hypotheses that will be tested: First, authoritarian parenting in Canadian children will be positively associated with academic achievement. Second, permissive parenting in Canadian children will be negatively associated with academic achievement. Third, Canadian adolescents raised through authoritarian parenting will be more likely to have high rates of academic achievement when compared to Canadian children raised through permissive …show more content…
The first limitation is the self-reported data in one part on the questionnaire. The questionnaire includes the students to self-report their grades they have received in school. This may allow for some students to lie or hide the truth of their real grades due to either embarrassment or shame. The second limitation is location of the study. For more accurate results, it would be wise to do the same study in different parts of the world as well. Due to budget limitations this cannot be done. This will limit the study mostly to Canadian students. A third limitation is time constraints. In order to accurately sample 200 students in a questionnaire, the researcher should allow for as much time as possible. For budget reasons the researchers are only permitted to stay for a total of five days. If the researchers had more time and a higher budget then perhaps they could stay longer, sample more participants, and get more accurate
