This study was based on the theoretical framework of parenting styles given by Maccoby and Martin (1983) and personality traits proposed by Goldberg (1993). The population for this study was 2292 students of public secondary schools in chitral. Simple random sampling technique was used. Sample size was 328 students selected by using Krejcie and Morgan sample size table (1070). Two adapted questionnaires were used in this study. i.e. Parenting style four factor questionnaire by Shyny (2017) and big five inventory by Benet-Martínez, V & John O. P. (1998). Through pilot testing reliability of both questionnaire was checked and both questionnaires were found reliable. Mean and Pearson correlation were applied for data analysis.
