Several studies have shown the risk of neuroticism to mental health and found that one of the factors in shaping personality is parenting styles. To date, however, no studies recorded have specifically examined the role of parenting styles on neuroticism in the Indonesian population. Therefore, this study aimed to provide empirical evidence of the relation between parenting styles and neuroticism in Indonesian young adults. 218 young adults with ages ranging from 18 to 25 years and resided in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi) participated in this study via online survey. Parenting style measured using Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) and the Big Five Inventory (BFI) was used to evaluate participants' neuroticism. The results of the research analysis showed a significant correlation between parenting styles and neuroticism. In particular, it was found that affectionless control produced significantly higher levels of neuroticism in young adults than optimal parenting. In addition, parental care and protection were also found to be significantly associated with neuroticism. Implication of current research discussed in the article.
