    Parenting styles and self-harm can have a great impact on an individual’s psychological well-being. Thus, this research aimed to investigate the relationship between parenting styles, self-harm tendencies and psychological wellbeing among university students. Through purposive sampling, 200 (Men = 100, Women = 100) university students were taken. The Scale of parenting styles (Arrindel et al., 1999), self-harm tendencies scale (Naeem et al., 2021), and psychological wellbeing Scale (Diener et al., 1985) were administered to participants. Correlation analysis revealed that a significant positive relationship was found between rejection parenting styles with external and internal self-harm tendencies and psychological wellbeing. Positive relationship was found of emotional warmth and over protection. While significant negative relationship was found self-harm tendencies and psychological wellbeing. A non-significant negative relationship parenting styles emotional warmth and psychological wellbeing. An independent sample t-test showed that no gender differences existed between the variables except psychological wellbeing as men scored higher on psychological wellbeing. This research is helpful in understanding the role of parenting styles, self-harm tendencies and their effect on psychological wellbeing in today’s fast paced life.
