Abstract
The present study aimed to predict social well-being and sense of social security based on perceived parenting styles in children of remarriage and to compare it with a normal group. The research method was predictive-comparative. The statistical population included all female high school students in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades in Shahreza County during the 2022-2023 academic year. The sample consisted of 106 students, with 53 students from “remarried families” and 53 from the “normal group,” selected through multi-stage cluster random sampling. To collect data, the following questionnaires were used: the Social Well-Being Scale by Keyes, the Social Security Scale by Gilbert et al., and the Perceived Parenting Styles Questionnaire by Baumrind. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 software through descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent t-test, ANOVA, and regression analysis). The results showed that perceived parenting styles in children of remarriage and normal children have a significant relationship with the variable of social well-being, but no significant difference was found between the two groups. Additionally, perceived parenting styles in children of remarriage and normal children do not have a significant relationship with the variable of social security, and there is no significant difference between the two groups. More clearly, the style of parenting is not related to remarriage or normal family structures, and both children from remarried families and normal families have similar levels of social well-being and social security in their homes and communities. Furthermore, perceived parenting styles play a role in predicting social well-being (p < 0.001) but do not play a role in predicting social security (p > 0.136). The findings of this study can serve as a basis for designing educational and therapeutic programs aimed at couples who have remarried, which can help strengthen social well-being and sense of social security in their children.
