EV0594 E-PosterMigration and Transcultural PsychiatryQualitative study (interview-based) # Examining the influence of Iranian culture on development from childhood to adulthood through parenting styles in Generations Y and Z AN INVESTIGATION ON THE INFLUENCE OF IRANIAN CULTURE ON PARENTING STYLE ON DEVELOPMENT FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD ACROSS TWO GENERATIONS OF MILLENNIALS AND GEN Z Presenter: Negin Sadeh Country: Iran Having grown up with authoritarian parenting, Generation Y turned to permissive parenting to compensate for their own childhood trauma, and Generation Z was raised with unchecked indulgence rather than balanced discipline. Objective: Drawing on Baumrind's framework of parenting styles, this study examined how Iran's cultural context and technological changes over the past decade have influenced development from childhood to adulthood through parenting styles across two generations: Generation Y (Millennials) and Generation Z. Method: A large-scale interview study involving approximately 1,000 Iranian families was conducted between 2024 and 2025 at Shafa Hospital in Gilan and Esfand Clinic in Rasht. Participants were selected primarily from Generation Y and Generation Z to compare perspectives across generations. The poster defined Generation Y as those born between 1977 and 1981 and Generation Z as those born in the 1990s and 2000s; no numerical results or statistical analyses were presented. Findings: Generation Y grew up with authoritarian parenting shaped by restrictive cultural norms, in which strict rules took precedence over emotional support. When this generation became parents, they frequently adopted a permissive style characterized by excessive affection in an effort to compensate for their own childhood trauma. This shift led Generation Z to grow up with unchecked indulgence rather than balanced discipline. Most Generation Y parents based their parenting decisions on readily accessible but often misleading psychological information. Conclusion: Cultural norms and rapid technological change shape parenting styles across the two generations, creating tension between discipline and affection. Psychiatrists have a key role in preventing intergenerational trauma by remaining sensitive to the cultural and technological context and supporting authoritative parenting that balances discipline with love.
