The present study was conducted to predict generalized anxiety based on parenting styles and family functioning in adolescents. The research method was a descriptive correlation. The statistical population of the research included all teenagers aged 15 to 18 in Shiraz city in 1402. The statistical sample size was estimated to be 384 people and these people were selected by the available method. Research measurement tools include the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-4th Edition (IV-GADQ, Newman et al., 2002), Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ, Shelton et al., 1996), and McMaster Family Functioning Questionnaire (FAD, Epstein et al., 1983). The data was analyzed using the multiple regression analysis method. The results showed that the components of problem-solving (p=0.001), communication (p=0.001), emotional reactions (p=0.003), and logical authority parenting style (p=0.001) were negative and significant. Authoritarian parenting styles (p=0.001) and permissive parenting styles (p=0.008) can positively and significantly predict adolescent anxiety. Other results indicated that parenting styles and family functioning explain a total of 33% of the variance of generalized anxiety scores. Therefore, the functioning of the family and the way parents communicate with their children can play a role in the occurrence of anxiety disorders in adolescents.
