The present research intends to analyse the impact of social support on perceived parenting styles. A socio-demographic questionnaire was used to collect data, the EMBU-P scale and the Satisfaction with Social Support Scale (ESSS). The participants consisted of 1096 individuals, female (N=855) and male (N=241), aged between 20 and 80 years (M=41.65). Parents’ gender and age are two of the variables that will also be studied in terms of their influence on the parenting styles. The results showed that social support (in relation to friendships, family, intimacy and social activities) of the parents correlates positively with their parenting styles, in all dimensions assessed by the EMBU-P scale (emotional support, rejection and control attempt). Thus, it was verified that social support has impact on parenting styles. Additionally, this study revealed differences among mothers and fathers as well as their ages, in terms of their perception of emotional support, rejection and control attempt, which shows that the gender and the age of the parents are related with their parenting styles. The results allow drawing conclusions that can outline possible guidelines for interventions aimed at the strengthening of the support networks and targeting at a better adaptation of the parenting styles present in families.
