One hundred adolescents participated in the research. Thirty seven were male and 63 female, between the ages of 13 and 18 years old. All of the participants responded to the Identification Questionnaire, the Scale of Stress for Adolescents, and The Scale of Observed Parenting Responsiveness and Demands. The results indicated that 73% of the respondents had stress. The number of women with stress was significantly higher than among the men (p= 0.042). With respect to the classification of the parenting styles of the parents, the authoritative style and the negligent style were the most common among the mothers: 27% in both cases, followed by the indulgent style (14%) and the authority style (13%). Among the fathers, 32% used the authoritative style, followed by the negligent style (21%), the authority style (15%), and the indulgent style (14%). Combining the data, most parents were regarded by the adolescents as authoritative (33%), followed by the negligent style (32%), the indulgent style (16%), and the authority style (15%). There was no difference between girls and boys' perception referring to the parenting style. The association of the maternal parenting style with the level of stress of the adolescents was not significant (p= 0.300). There was a significant relationship (p= 0.015) between the parenting style among the fathers and the stress of the adolescents. There was also a significant correlation between the combined parenting style and the stress of the adolescents (p= 0.004). The data suggests that there is a relationship between the parenting style of the parents and the level of stress of their adolescent children. The indulgent style was more present in the parents of children with no stress. The authority style, followed by the negligent style, on the other hand, was more present among parents of stressed adolescents. The authoritative style was found to be associated with adolescents with moderate levels of stress. Parental responsiveness seems to play a protective role in the stress of the adolescents. High levels of parental demandingness was shown to add to the stress of the adolescents. These results open doors to new studies in this field; they are also useful for the development of new programs of stress control for adolescents. / O objetivo deste estudo foi averiguar a rela??o entre o estilo parental percebido e o n?vel de stress dos adolescentes. Cem adolescentes, 37 do sexo masculino e 63 do sexo feminino, na faixa et?ria entre 13 e 18 anos, responderam ? Ficha de Identifica??o, ? Escala de Stress para Adolescentes e ?s Escalas de Exig?ncia e Responsividade Parental Percebidas. Os resultados indicaram que 73% dos adolescentes da amostra tinham stress, e que o n?mero de mulheres com stress era significativamente maior do que o de homens (p= 0.042). Quanto ? classifica??o do estilo parental dos progenitores, as m?es estavam mais presentes nos estilos autoritativo e negligente, ambos com 27%, seguidos pelos estilos indulgente (14%) e autorit?rio (13%). Em rela??o aos pais, 32% utilizavam o estilo autoritativo, seguido pelo estilo negligente (21%), autorit?rio (15%) e pelo indulgente (14%). Quanto aos dados combinados, a maioria dos pais era percebida como utilizando o estilo autoritativo (33%), seguido pelo negligente (32%), indulgente (16%) e pelo autorit?rio (15%). N?o houve diferen?a na percep??o dos meninos e meninas quanto ao estilo parental de seus pais. Na associa??o do estilo parental materno com o n?vel de stress dos filhos n?o foi revelada uma associa??o significativa entre esses dois aspectos (p =0.300); j? na rela??o entre o estilo parental paterno e o stress dos adolescentes revelou-se uma associa??o significativa (p= 0,015); tamb?m foi obtida uma rela??o significativa entre o estilo parental combinado e o stress dos filhos (p= 0,004). Os dados sugerem a exist?ncia de uma rela??o entre o estilo parental dos progenitores e o n?vel de stress dos filhos adolescentes. O estilo indulgente esteve mais presente em pais de filhos sem stress; j? o estilo autorit?rio seguido pelo negligente estiveram mais presentes em pais de filhos com stress. O estilo autoritativo ocupou uma posi??o intermedi?ria. A responsividade parental se apresentou como um aspecto protetor para o stress dos filhos, por outro lado, a exig?ncia parental demonstrou ser uma fonte de stress para os filhos adolescentes. Os resultados abrem um novo espa?o para estudos nesta ?rea, al?m de favorecerem o desenvolvimento de programas de profilaxia e controle do stress para adolescentes.
