    Parenting style is considered as the most important variable for proper functioning of individuals in all areas of life. However, how one regulate emotions can also impact on his life.The current research was conducted to explore (a) the relationship among perceive parenting style, emotion regulation and goal orientation (b) assess the mediating role of emotion regulation (reappraisal and suppression) between perceived parenting style (mother and father) and goal orientation (mastery goal and performance goal) (c) explore the role of gender and birth order as distal variables. For that purpose correlational research design was used. Sample was consisted of 200 high school students with mean age of 16.34 (SD = 1.05) with equal gender representation. Convenient sampling technique was used to select schools while participants were selected using purposive sampling strategy. Pearson Product Moment correlation, Independent samplet-test and one way ANOVA were performed on SPSS, while for the exploration of mediation AMOS was used. Analysis revealed that authoritarian parenting style of father and permissive parenting style of both parents correlate with reappraisal. Authoritative parenting style of mother correlate with both dimensions of goal orientation.While authoritarian style of mother correlate with performance goal orientation. Mediation analysis indicated that father authoritarian significantly predicted reappraisal, father authoritativeness negatively predicted performance goal. Mother authoritativeness positively predicted performance and mastery goal. Furthermore, gender significantly predicted performance and mastery goal. While no mediational effect has been found in the present research. Role of gender and birth order was also explore which indicated that girls perceive their parents as authoritative and have goal orientation. But boys have the ability to suppress their emotions more than girls. While ANOVA revealed no differences on study variables on the basis of birth order.Parents, teachers, psychologist and school counsellors can utilize this study for bright future of students.
