Parenting style plays a key role in adolescent development and well-being. This study set out to examine how different dimensions of perceived parenting styles influence resilience levels among a sample of 609 Spanish secondary school students aged 11 to 17 years. Data were collected using the School Resilience Scale (SRS) and the Parenting Style Assessment Scale (PSAS). Spearman correlations showed strong and significant associations, particularly between Affection and Communication and External Resources (ρ = 0.637, p < 0.001) and Internal Resources (ρ = 0.489, p < 0.001). Linear regression models explained 31.7% (Internal Resources) and 44.3% (External Resources) of the variance, with Affection and Communication and Revelation emerging as the most consistent predictors (p < 0.001). Multinomial logistic regressions showed good model fit (Nagelkerke R2 = 0.398 and 0.561) and indicated that these dimensions increased the likelihood of belonging to the high-resilience groups (odds ratios ranging from 1.07 to 1.21). The findings highlight the importance of warm and emotionally expressive parenting practices in promoting adolescent resilience and suggest potential directions for school-based and family-focused intervention programs.
