Aims: The present study aims at determining the effects of different modes of parenting styles on the dimensions of social skills of male and female adolescent children ofworking and non-working mothers in urban areas of Ludhiana, India. Methods: A total of 200 volunteer adolescent, school-children, belonging to working-mothers (38 male and 26 female) and non-working mother (83 male and 53 female), were surveyed.The parenting style was categorized into eight modes of parenting as suggested byBhardwaj et al. (1998)[1].The reliability of this test was determined by test and retest method with an interval of 21 days. Results: The results indicated that none of the dimensions of social skills were differing significantly (P>0.05) between the male and female adolescent children in each of the mothers‟ groups. However, the dimensions of social skills were higher among the children of working mothers as compared to those belonging to non-working mothers.The modes of parenting were analyzed for “Mother-form”, “Father-form” and „both parents-form‟.The parametersutopian expectation vs. realism and lenient standard vs. moralismwere significantly differing (P<0.05) between two genders of students (non-working mothers).The mean of joint scores of both parents for all the dimensions (except for „Carelessness vs. Protection (B)‟) of parenting style is higher among non-working mothers than the working mothers. Conclusions: It is concluded that the development of social skills is influenced by the employment status of the mother.
