Self-efficacy is the sense of being competent, efficient, and adequate at handling life’s challenges. Parenting is the act of assuming the role of a parent by providing care, nurturing, and protection for a child by either a biological or adoptive parent. The goal of this study is to determine how parental practices affect late-adolescent’s self-efficacy. Assessing the self-efficacy of the sample as well as examining the influence of parenting style on self-efficacy in late adolescence are the goals of this research project. Eighty late adolescents, ages sixteen to eighteen, make up the stratified random sample. Bhardwaj et al.’s p scale and Mehta self-efficacy scale were among the instruments utilized to achieve the goals. The result shows that the level of self-efficacy is found to be high, it also reveals that the relationship between parenting style and self-efficacy is found to be positive not particularly strong; the study concludes that parenting style is a predictor of self-efficacy.
