MOTHERS
Children need both the nurturing style that most mothers bring to the family as
well as a more challenging and real-world based style that seem to be innate to most
fathers. These parenting styles can be over generalized based on gender. In some
families, mothers can be more demanding and fathers more nurturing. But the
essential key is balancing the different parenting styles and getting the best impact
Mother's Style:
Mothers tend to find themselves play a nurturing role. They seem to have an
innate ability of having good judgement to their children. This style tends to manifest
itself in parenting where Mother offers more words of affirmation, tends to express
her expectations more clearly and to "talk out" issues involving discipline. Mothers

AUTHORITARIAN:
This style of parenting has warmth but highly controlling. They insist their
phrases like “you will do this because I said”, “because I’m the parent and you
aren’t”. And most likely they do not engage in discussion with their children and
family rules and set of standards are not discussed. And these parents will have set of
rules and practices which they follow and they want their teens to accept that without
parental rules and adherence to strict the discipline is valued over independent
behaviour. And these adolescents can become rebellious or dependent. Those who
become rebellious may have aggressive behaviors. Adolescents who are submissive
are being dependent to their parents. These kinds of parents don’t allow their children
to solve problems and challenges instead they give some rules and enforce the
consequences with little regards for the child’s opinion. Instead of discipline these
parents may use punishments rather than teach them to make a better choice these

grew up with authoritarian parents tend to follow rules as much as they can and their

PERMISSIVE:
These parents are warm but undemanding. So there parenting can be passive
and indulgent. They believe that their children’s wishes and opinion are more
important than their opinion. And phrase they use such as “you do not need to do any
chores if you don’t feel like to do it”. This type of parenting style can be characterized
as low demands with high responsiveness. They are not interested to say no or
disappointing their children happiness. As a result the teens can make own decisions
without consulting parental input. In this parenting style, the parents see themselves as
resources, and the adolescents choose to seek advice and not viewing as an active
participant in shaping the teens behaviour. Research finding shows that adolescents of
permissive parents learn their boundaries and rules but the consequences are not likely
to be very serious. These teens have difficulty in self control and egocentric

PARENTS:
These parents have no or little expectation on the children and teens have
nothing to strive towards in life. Research shows permissive parenting leads to lower
academic achievement.

There are three things that influence the emergence of procrastination: firstly,
there are certain personality traits (e.g. high impulsivity) that determine the
role. The third issue that contributes to procrastination concerns situational factors
3 STYLES OF PROCRASTINATION
1. The Avoider
These kind of people put things off just because it makes them feel bad, the
principle of Sigmund Freud state that people have a natural drive to seek what feels
good and to avoid whatever's painful. This strategy isn't always completely
successful. They can feel negative emotions because of the procrastination, such as
Avoider Characteristics:
They convince others that there isn’t enough time to complete the given
agenda.
They get anxious when others talk about their work on which they avoid.
They give excuses about why they couldn’t finish their assigned work.
They have trouble coming up with concrete plans, as they make completion
feasible.
2. The Optimist
This people consistently think a task isn't going to take much time to finish a
work. The research also suggests that some people actually perceive time
Optimist Characteristics:
They fail to see the pattern of times where their procrastination produced a
negative result.
16
They don't do what their supposed to do until they genuinely feel like doing it,
which doesn't always happen. But it is not about avoiding a work as it is deliberately
They have little patience if they don’t have interest to perform the task.
They have mindset to live at present and therefore they don't spend much time
on planning.
CAUSES OF PROCRASTINATION
Give up perfectionism
Announce one’s own intentions to other and make them as a support group.
List out the things which need to be accomplished based on its priority.
Give rewards when task is completed and to maintain the same behaviour.

determines their parenting style. This sort of parental behaviour has a strong influence

procrastinating behaviour sounds at a higher rate nowadays. On this way, the extent of
procrastinating behaviour could be linked to the parenting style in the way developed.
So procrastination has its adverse effects towards adolescent so it can be a barrier for
the adolescence development period. Hence, The purpose of the study is needed for
this society especially for adolescent groups and parents in order to avoid

Subscale scores. Scores on each subscale range from 10 to 50.
The PAQ has three subscales:
Permissive (P: items 1, 6, 10, 13, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24 and 28), authoritarian (A: items 2,
3, 7, 9, 12, 16, 18, 25, 26 and 29), and authoritative/flexible (F: items 4, 5, 8, 11, 15,
