Therefore, an infantile becomes aware of the fact the he/she is a different individual from his/her mother. In other words, he/she begins in individualize. However, this process is a complex one which consists of father and the interaction between mother and infant. Adolescence is the second period in which a quick development takes place in an individual's life. Adolescence is a period of identity formation. In this study, the relationship between separation-individuation and perceived parenting dimensions in adolescents was analyzed since the characteristics of relationship between parents and adolescents during the separation-individuation process are significant. Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the study is to explain the relationship between adolescents' separation-individuation and their perceived acceptance/involvement and strict control parental dimensions. Method: The study group consisted of a total of 251 high school students, (126 female, 99 male) studying at 9(th), 10(th), and 11(th) grade levels. However, the date gathered from 26 students were disregarded due to incomplete and/or mistaken date. The analyses were carried out on a 225-person date set. The points which were obtained from the three scales were analyzed through SPSS 11.5 and the total points and the total points of scales were found in date analyses. Findings and Results: There was no difference between engulfment anxiety, rejection expectancy, and dependency denial subscales of SITA (the Separation-Individuation Test of Adolescene) according to geneder. There was no difference between parenting Styles Scale's acceptance/involvement and strict control dimensions according to gender. It was observed that there was a significant relationship between separation anxiety, rejection expectancy, and mother and father's strict control dimension. There was a positive relationship between practing-mirroring and mother's strict control dimension. There was a positive relationship between rejection expectancy and mother's acceptance/involvement dimension. There was a positive relationship between acceptance/involvement of mother-father and nurturance seeking. There was a positive relationship between nurturance seeking and father's strict control. Conclusions And Recommendations: At the end of the study, it was observed that separation anxiety, healthy separation, nurturance seeking, and peer enmeshment subscales scores were significantly different in terms of gender. The study showed that the scores gained from parenting Styles Scale's acceptance/involvement and strict control dimensions were not significantly difference in terms of gender. Some separation-individuation problems of students can be prevented through doing studies to materialize their parenting styles and separation-individuation in the frame of the counseling.
