The present study aimed to identify the relationship between parenting style, academic performance and depression among college students. A cross-sectional research design and purposive sampling technique were used in present study. Sample of 200 college students (100 Male, 100 Female) were taken from different colleges of Faisalabad. Age range was 14-20. Beck Depression Inventory (Beck et al., 1961), Parenting Style Questionnaire (Robinson et al., 1995) and Academic Performance Scale (Birchmeier et al., 2015) were used for data collection. Results revealed that authoritative parenting relates to positive academic achievements, whereas authoritarian and permissive parenting are related to worse academic achievements as well as authoritarian parenting to an increased level of depression in college students. Results indicated that authoritarian parenting style could be used as a salient risk factor of the predictor of depression symptoms, whereas neither the authoritative nor the permissive parenting styles and academic achievement could be singly predicted to associate with the symptoms of depression in the current model. Findings revealed that older college students have more depressive symptoms than younger students.
