Parents and educators look at the youth stage with interest and concern, which may sometimes reach the level of anxiety due to the accompanying problems, whether for the youth themselves or for their families. This phenomenon increased among university students as they bear the greatest burden in the development of society in various fields, and therefore the current research aims to study the relationship between family leadership styles and psychological alienation in a sample of university students, and the study sample consists of (220) male and female university students, from rural and urban areas, and from different socio-economic levels. The research tools consists of the general data form for university students, the questionnaire of family leadership styles in its three dimensions, and the psychological alienation questionnaire in the four axes.

The most important findings were the existence of statistically significant negative correlative relationship between family leadership styles with their three dimensions and psychological alienation with its four axes for the university students, which means the more the family follows positive leadership styles in dealing with its children, the less they feel of psychological alienation. There are statistically significant differences between male and female university students in the total family leadership styles in favor of females. There are statistically significant differences between male and female university students in the total psychological alienation in favor of males, there are no statistically significant differences between working and non-working mothers of university students in both the total family leadership styles, and the total psychological alienation.
