personality. Both topic areas were chosen to examine the social category in developmental
psychology and the adolescent subcategory. Adolescence is a critical developmental milestone;

puberty starts, cognitive functions increase to include abstract reasoning, and self-identity
development is crucial. Analyzing external factors that influence a child's development and
measuring their effect on self-identity and personality traits are critical components of adolescent

into adulthood and still be seen in later life. For instance, if a child has a traumatic childhood
during adolescence, this can have a profound impact on social relationships, depression, and
anxiety.
Literature Review
According to Liu et al. (2023), there is a link between positive parenting practices and
harmful parenting practices in association with anxiety and depression. The article states that
harsher parental discipline techniques can lead to anxiety. In addition, the article mentions that

the potential impact of negative parenting styles (focusing on discipline and rejection). The
article by Liu et al. (2023) also mentions that other factors, including school, home,
neighborhood, and friends, play a crucial role in a child's development. In addition to the
parenting style, teacher-student relationships present an impact by influencing harshness more on
the maternal side over the father side. The central hole in the article is best seen in the lack of
definition of what constitutes disciplinary harshness and the individual analysis correlations
between the types of harshness and anxiety and depression rates.
The article by Lippold (2018) analyzes the impact of parenting styles and their influence
