The present research has two aims. The first is to create a typology of parenting style, and the second is to explore the relationship between mother's and father's parenting styles and the coherence between both, and adolescent adjustment, assessed with the bullying involvement, resilience and attachment. It has been used an incidental sample of 626 high school students (49.7% girls) from Córdoba, who completed the Scale to assessment maternal and paternalparenting style in adolescence, the European Bullying Intervention Project Questionnaire, the attachment scale CaMir-R and the short version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. The results show four parenting styles, which are the same for mothers and fathers ("supervisor democratic", "controlling democratic", "democratic of little disclosure" and "moderately") and one parenting style only for mothers ("permissive") and other, only for fathers ("indifferent"). It was found statistically significant differences in all measures of adolescent adjustment depending on mother's and father's parental styles and the coherence between both. The better psychosocial adjustment was observed in adolescents whose father or mother were supervisor democratic and when both parents were democratic.
