Background and Objectives: Since maltreated adolescents are at greater risk due to experiencing turbulent family relationships and unfavorable emotional environments, it is of particular importance to examine their differences from adolescents raised in normal family setting. Accordingly, the present study aimed to compare parenting styles, family emotional climate, and addiction tendencies in adolescents with inadequate parental care living in social welfare centers and those raised in family settings.
Materials and Methods: The statistical population of this descriptive-comparative study included all maltreated adolescents living in social welfare centers and those raised in normal family setting in Rasht, Iran, during 2024. In total, 218 individuals (109 maltreated adolescents living in social welfare centers and 109 adolescents living in normal family setting) were selected through convenience sampling and responded to the Baumirand (1971) Parenting Styles Questionnaire, Hillburn (1964) Family Emotional Climate Questionnaire, and IAPS (1992) Addiction Tendency Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistical tests and Univariate and multivariate analysis of variance (covariance) and analysis of variance through SPSS software (version 22).
Results: The findings showed that abused adolescents had a more unfavorable situation in all three areas (i.e., parenting styles, family emotional climate, and addiction tendency), compared to those living in normal family setting (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Abused adolescents living in social welfare centers are in a more unfavorable situation than those living in normal family settings in terms of perceived parenting styles, family emotional climate, and addiction tendency. These results also emphasize the importance of paying special attention to the family environment and psychosocial support in order to reduce vulnerability and prevent addiction tendency in this group.
