Abstract

The study aimed at revealing the contribution of parenting styles and social halo in predicting the choice of the academic track among the students of the tenth grade. The study sample consisted of (300) students. The results showed that parental styles, social halo, and gender contributed to predicting the choice of the academic track. Specifically, there were statistically significant differences between males and females on the choice of the academic track for females while there was no statistically significant difference in the social halo scale. Males had higher scores than females on the authoritarian and permissive parenting styles while females had higher scores in authoritative parenting style than males.
