However, the authoritative (r=-0/036, P<0/515) and permissive (r=-0.049, P<0.375) parenting styles demonstrated no significant correlation with mental health. Furthermore, religious attitude was revealed to have a positive correlation between the dictatorial (r=0.183, P<0.001) and authoritative (r=0.142, P<0.009) parenting styles.
