Several spin and flavor dependent parameters characterizing the strangeness content of the nucleon have been calculated in the chiral constituent quark model with configuration mixing (_config) which is known to provide a satisfactory explanation of the "proton spin crisis" and related issues. In particular, we have calculated the strange spin polarization Δ s, the strangeness contribution to the weak axial vector couplings Δ_8 etc., strangeness contribution to the magnetic moments μ(p)^s etc.,

... the strange quark flavor fraction f_s, the strangeness dependent quark flavor ratios 2 s̅/u+d and 2 s̅/u̅+ d̅ etc.. Our results are consistent with the recent experimental observations.
