The present study aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between perceived parental styles, decision making, impulsivity and self-concept. A sample of 205 participants (144 females & 59 males) between the ages of 17 to 25 was studied. The study was conducted via a survey which included a demographic questionnaire, Perceived Parental Style Scale by Divya and Manikandan (2013); Decision Making Questionnaire French, West, Elander, and Wilding (1993); Barratt Impulsiveness Scale Revised (BIS-R-21) originally by Barratt (1965); and later by Barratt and Stanford (1995); and Robson Self-concept Questionnaire by Robson (1989). Results showed that there was a correlation between authoritative parenting style, authoritarian parenting style and permissive parenting style with decision making, impulsivity and self-concept.
