Abstract

(analytical)
To examine differences in school stress based on perceived parental style among Colombian students, the Parental Bonding Instrument and a school stress index were administered to 1287 adolescents from the department of Caldas, Colombia. The analysis revealed that 35.1% of participants exhibited excessive academic concern. Regarding the perception of parental style, 31.6% reported receiving optimal parenting, 14.1% reported affectionate restraint, 26.5% parenting with control without affection, and 27.7% described neglectful parenting. The results indicated a significant correlation between school stress and parental control, as well as a significant negative correlation with affection. Parental styles that appropriately balance affection and control were associated with lower school stress responses, suggesting the importance of promoting balanced parenting practices to improve the academic well-being of adolescents.
