Abstract
The academic success of a student is influenced by many factors. The factors include the parental influences, school environments, teachers and the individual ability of the student. Parental factors may stretch to gender and the educational level of the parents (Rael, 2011). In many attempts, literature has tried to explain the immense impact of the styles of parenting to the college students. The parenting styles are briefly described as the configuration or pattern of parenting behavior.

According to Yolander (2004), highly motivated students tend to attain more success academically. Thus, parenting styles are of immense consideration in bringing up an academically successful student. However, a research linking the parental influence and the students achievement is yet to bring out a clearly defined extend of the impact. This report uses the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), which is designed for the purpose of measuring the college students’ motivational sources and their application of the diverse learning strategies (Lambert, 2010).
Objective and hypothesis of the experiment
This experiment is purposely carried out to expand upon the existing theoretical relation between the parenting styles and the academic performance of a student. This report paper tries to synthesize literature review that surrounds the influence of parenting styles and the students’ performance in the class. It also clearly examines the motivational outcomes that may influence the students’ academic success.
Hypothetically, college students with authoritative parents have a greater academic motivation than those with permissive and authoritarian parents.
The experiment was mainly guided by the following questions. What are some of the parenting styles that influence the student’s performance? Do the
