Adolescence is a critical developmental phase characterized by emotional reactivity and the expansion of social roles. This study investigates the relationship between parenting styles, emotional regulation, and prosocial behavior among adolescents. A sample of 300 adolescents aged 13–18 years was surveyed using standardized scales for parenting style, emotional regulation, and prosocial behavior. Results revealed that authoritative parenting was positively correlated with higher emotional regulation, which subsequently predicted prosocial behavior. Findings indicate that emotional regulation mediates the relationship between parenting and prosocial behavior. The implications emphasize the importance of supportive parenting practices in enhancing adolescent well-being.
