<p>The aim of this study is to analyse a model that postulates that parenting styles are related to coping that stimulate the development of different kinds of peer relationships, attachment, victimization and aggression in adolescence. 417 Spanish adolescents (<em>M</em><sub>age</sub> =14.70; <em>SD</em> = 0.68) have participated in a three-wave longitudinal study in Valencia, Spain. Structural equations modelling was employed to explore the proposed models. The results indicate that adolescents with an authoritative mother and father are more likely to develop attachment to peers and less likely to be victimized or aggressive towards peers, and coping acts as a moderator variable. This study contributes to highlight the importance of parenting styles and adolescent coping in the explanation of the development of different kinds of peer relationships.</p>
