Abstract The study aimed at predicting depression levels through parenting styles among second cycle students in the Sultanate of Oman by using three types of parenting: permissive, authoritarian, and authoritative. The researcher administered Buri (1991) questionnaire that has been adapted by Aldhafri and others (2011) to suit the Omani environment. In addition, the researcher used Ahmed Abdul Khalek (2003) depression scale. The study sample consisted a total of (906) students (females: 339) and (males: 567) from grades (5-10) in several governorates in the Sultanate of Oman who were in the age range (11-16) years. The study found that the all the three parenting styles are common, and the authoritative style is the most common. In general, depression levels among students were low. There were statistically significant differences between males and females in the mean of depression levels in favor of females, though; there were not statistically significant differences related to grade. The results showed that paternal authoritative and authoritarian styles and the maternal authoritative style are the most predictive variables for depression levels in students.
