Before surveying, an interview was conducted in order to confirm the background variables of gender, social economic status of family and parents’ marital relationship. And subsequently the PPSS was employed to ascertain the different impacts of the three variables on parenting style and adolescents’ behavior disturbance. An interview was also conducted after the survey. Lastly, the results of the survey and the interview were used to acquire a further understanding of the relation of parenting style and adolescents’ behavior disturbance. 　　617 junior and senior high school students participated in the pilot test and the PPSS was developed from the data of the pilot test. There were 1130 high school students involved in the present study (stratify sampling was used to select the subjects from northern, western, southern, and eastern Taiwan). The instruments comprise of Perception of Parenting Style Scale, Adolescents’ Behavior-problem Scale and Parents’ Marital Relationship Scale. The statistical methods used to analyze the data were Hotelling T2, one-way MANOVA, multiple regression, one-way repeated measure ANOVA and Canonical Correlation. The conclusions of this study were summarized as follows: 　　1.Male and female students had significant differences on perception of father’s parenting style. 　　2.Male and female students had significant differences on perception of mother’s parenting style. 　　3.Male and female students had significant differences on behavior disturbance. 　　4.Adolescents among 3 groups of social economic status of family had significant differences on perceiving father’s parenting style. 　　5.Adolescents among 3 groups of social economic status of family had significant differences on perceiving mother’s parenting style. 　　6.Adolescents among 3 groups of social economic status of family had no significant differences on behavior disturbance. 　　7.Parents’ marital relationship could be used to predict adolescents’ perception of father’s parenting style. The prediction to democracy is the highest, then neglecting hostility, nonintervention, indulgence, authoritarian and tolerance in order. 　　8.Parents’ marital relationship could be used to predict adolescents’ perception of mother’s parenting style. The prediction to democracy is the highest, then neglecting hostility, nonintervention, indulgence, authoritarian and tolerance in order. 　　9.Parents’ marital relationship could be used to predict adolescents’ behavior disturbance. The prediction to family life disturbance is the highest, then personal relationship disturbance, self-concern disturbance, physical and psychological development disturbance and school life disturbance in order. 　　10.Adolescents had significant differences on perceiving father’s parenting style, and furthermore their perception of democracy was the highest, then tolerance, authoritarian, nonintervention, indulgence, and neglecting hostility in order. 　　11.Adolescents had significant differences on perceiving mother’s parenting style, and furthermore their perception of democracy was the highest, then tolerance, authoritarian, nonintervention, indulgence, and neglecting hostility in order. 　　12.Adolescents had significant differences on behavior disturbance, and furthermore their self-concern disturbance was the highest, then school life disturbance, physical and psychological development disturbance, personal relationship disturbance, family life disturbance in order. 　　13.The more democratic a father is, the lower adolescents’ family life disturbance is. The more authoritarian and neglecting hostile a father is, the higher adolescents’ family life disturbance is. 　　14.The more democratic a mother is, the lower adolescents’ family life disturbance is. The more authoritarian, neglecting hostile and tolerant a mother is, the higher adolescents’ family life disturbance is. Suggestions for parental education, teaching, educational guidance and further studies were proposed based on this study finding.
