Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of the relation between the perceived parental style and the grit of adolescents. The theoretical background includes the ideas about the interconnection between the parenting and the grit. Research data were collected from 738 adolescents aged 15-20 in the Slovak Republic attending general secondary schools and specialized secondary schools (ISCED 3). Their average age was 17.19 year (SD = 1.36). We used two assessment methods: The Grit Scale and Parenting Style Inventory II. The linear regression modelling showed that the most significant predictors of the grit, passion and perseverance are male sex responsiveness and autonomy granting of the parents. The results are important in the psychological and educational praxis in the relation to the future carrier selections and personal beliefs about ability to reach the self-defined goals.
