Love, Keisha M.; Thomas, Deneia M.
Journal of College Student Development, v55 n2 p139-150 Mar 2014

We examined the fit of a hypothesized model consisting of parenting styles, indicators of well-being, and academic adjustment among 315 college students. The model demonstrated a close fit to the data and contained several significant paths.
