Abstract
This study aims to identify parenting styles and their correlation with the ability to delay gratification using the Marshmallow test, among children of 5 years old, in Bethlehem Governorate. The study sample included 80 children with one of their parents (80 fathers/ mothers). The research sample was selected using a simple cluster random sampling method. Multiple Linear Regression test and T-test were used to study the correlations and comparison between the study variables. The results indicated that the authoritative parenting style was the most parenting style affecting the delay of gratification using the Marshmallow test in comparison with authoritarian and permissive parenting styles. Negative relationship was found between the authoritarian parenting style and the ability to delay gratification using the Marshmallow test. The results also showed a significant relationship between the authoritative and permissive parenting style with the ability to delay gratification. Results, recommendations, and future studies are discussed.
