In Indian culture, parenting plays a significant role in an individual's life. It is evident as there is an extensive literature focusing on the importance of parenting. These researches are mainly focused on the relationship of parenting style with different variables like development, personality, self-esteem, etc. In the present scenario, it has become necessary to focus on parenting style in relation to other variables which would help an individual to lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life to cultivate what is best within themselves and enhance their experiences. Based on this premise, the present paper attempts to study the relationship between parenting style, PsyCap (Optimism, Hope, Self Esteem, and Resilience) and Coping. 200 college students (young adults within the age-range of 18–24 years, 100 boys and 100 girls) were selected from different universities in Jaipur. All the participants were then administered Parenting Style Inventory-II (Darling, 1997), BRIEF Coping Scale (Carver, 1997), and PsyCap Questionnaire (PCQ) (Luthans et al., 2006). The results presents glimpses of importance of parenting style in enhancing well-being in an individual's life.
