is significantly higher than that of girls,and there is no significant gender difference in the other dimensions of parenting style;There is a significant gender difference in junior high school students’ self-esteem,which shows that boys score higher than girls;There is a significant gender difference in junior high school students’ social support,that is,girls score significantly higher than boys.(2)There is no significant difference in junior middle school students’ self-esteem,depression and social support.There are significant differences in the parenting styles of junior middle school students,which show that the scores of father’s rejection dimension in grade one and grade two are significantly higher than those in grade three;The score of mother’s refusal dimension in grade one is significantly higher than that in grade two and grade three,and the score of mother’s refusal dimension in grade two is significantly higher than that in grade three.The score of father’s emotional warmth dimension in grade one is significantly lower than that in grade three and grade two.The score of emotional warmth dimension of mothers in the first grade was significantly lower than that in the third grade;The score of father’s overprotection dimension in grade two was significantly higher than that in grade three.The score of mother’s overprotection dimension in grade one is significantly higher than that in grade three,and the score of mother’s overprotection dimension in grade two is significantly higher than that in grade three and grade one.(3)There is no significant difference in depression among junior middle school students.There are significant differences in emotional warmth parenting styles of junior middle school students’ mothers from different places of origin,that is,the score of emotional warmth dimension of urban junior middle school students’ mothers is significantly higher than that of rural junior middle school students.There are significant

from rural areas.The social support of junior high school students from different places of origin is significantly different,that is,the scores of junior high school students from cities and towns
