This study investigated the correlation between parenting stress, mindfulness in parenting, adolescents' stress, and mindfulness among Iranian adolescents and their parents. One hundred and three adolescents answered the Demographic questionnaire, Adolescent Stress, and Adolescent Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, while 103 parents answered the Demographic questionnaire, Parenting Stress Index—Short Form-15 (PSI-SF-15), and The Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were employed to test the hypotheses. The results showed that parenting stress had a significant and accepted impact on both adolescent mindfulness and adolescent stress. However, parenting mindfulness did not exhibit a significant influence on adolescent mindfulness. Nevertheless, parenting mindfulness had a significant and accepted impact on adolescent stress. Based on the results, efforts to improve mindfulness among parents could decrease stress among adolescents.
