abstract="INTRODUCTION: Given the many negative consequences associated with adolescent depression, researchers are trying to gain a better understanding of the factors involved in causing and exacerbating the symptoms of this disorder. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the &quot;psychological flexibility of mother in parenting&quot; with adolescent depression after statistical control of the effect of maternal depression.   Method: To investigate this goal, the descriptive-correlation method was used The study population consisted of first-grade high school students in Tehran, Boldaji, and Hamedan and their mothers in the academic year 2019-2020. 432 adolescent mothers were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling. Inclusion criteria were living with both parents and the mother being literate (at least fifth grade). Adolescents living in welfare-supervised centers (homeless) were excluded from the study. Data were collected using psychological flexibility in parenting Questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Questionnaire, and Adolescent Self-Reporting Questionnaire.   Results: The results showed that there was a statistically significant positive relationship between adolescent depression and maternal depression (p = 0.001). Also, &quot;maternal psychological flexibility in parenting&quot; had a statistically significant negative relationship with adolescent depression (p = 0.001). Also, after statistical control of the effect of maternal depression, &quot;psychological flexibility of the mother in parenting&quot; was able to significantly predict adolescent depression (p = 0.001).   Conclusion: More psychological flexibility in parenting causes the mother to be more involved in positive parenting practices and positive parenting practices are associated with less depression in children<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
