| Summary: | Adolescence is a period that bears a particular risk for the occurrence of
difficulties in psychosocial adaptation. This research was aimed at
investigating the predictive power of father’s and mother’s rearing styles
for the level of internalised (more specifically, anxiety as a trait) and
externalised problems on the sample of adolescents (212), aged 12 to 18. The
following instruments were used in data collection: the Parental Rearing
Style Scale, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and the
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y). The obtained results indicate that an
emotionally cold father’s style of rearing and the restricting style of
rearing of both parents are significant predictors of the level of general
anxiety. When it comes to externalisation, it is shown that cold father’s
style of rearing is the only significant predictor. The results may
contribute to a better understanding of the adaptive capacities of a child
and the family in coping with the critical phases in the development of
children and youth. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of Education, Science
