Abstract The main purpose of this study was to examine the impact of adolescents' perceived parenting styles and some selected demographic factors on the self-regulation of Amanuel secondary and preparatory school adolescent students. The data related to the demographic characteristics, perceived parenting styles, and adolescent self-regulation were collected through self-report measures from a total of 349 (164 females and 185 males) adolescent students selected via stratified and simple random sampling techniques from all grade levels of the school. Descriptive statistics, one sample t-test, independent samples t-test, one way ANOVA, and Pearson product moment coefficient were used to analyze the data that were collected from samples of the study. The results revealed that family structure and perceived parenting style significantly affected Amanuel secondary and preparatory school adolescent students' selfregulation. Hence, adolescents who were from intact families had significantly higher selfregulation than those who were from non-intact families. In addition, adolescents who perceived their parents as authoritative had significantly higher self-regulation score than those who perceived their parents as authoritarian and neglectful. Sex, age, and parental education of participant adolescents did not significantly affect their self-regulation. The finding also indicated that there were statistically significant positive correlations between parental dimensions (parental responsiveness and parental demandingness) and adolescents' selfregulation. One can conclude that adolescent students of Machakel woreda had significant lower score of self-regulation; and parenting styles and structures of their families had significantly affected their level of self-regulation. Finally, recommendations were forwarded based on the findings of the present study. Key words: Adolescents, Family structure, Parental dimension, Parenting style, Self-regulation
