mental, and social development of the children. We aims at seeing the relationship between parenting style and suicidal behaviors.
Methods. A search was conducted in Medline, Embase, and PsychINFO to identify the articles assessing the relationship between
different types of parenting styles and suicidal behavior. We included 32 articles in the review published from inception to search
date. Results. Among the 32 studies, 27 studies used a cross-sectional study design, 17 were published between 2011 and 2020, and
most of the studies included respondents with ages between 9 and 21 years. A wide variety of the used instruments to assess
suicidal behavior, and parenting style was noted. Eight studies revealed that authoritarian parenting style is one of the
predictors of suicidal behavior, while one study reported the authoritarian parenting style as a resilient factor. Both dominating
and flexible parenting styles were associated with higher suicidal behavior, and two studies reported that the permissive style is
a contributing factor to suicidal ideation among participants. Conclusion. This review identified the supportive notion that
authoritarian parenting style has an association with suicidal behavior in adolescence, and later life. However, a prudential
judgment is warranted due to the heterogeneity of study methods, population, contexts, and measurement tools.
