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 (\chiCQM_{ 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 \Delta s, the strangeness contribution to the weak axial vector couplings \Delta_8 etc., strangeness contribution to the magnetic moments \mu(p)^s etc., the strange quark flavor fraction f_s, the strangeness dependent quark flavor ratios \frac{ 2 \bar s}{ u+d} and \frac{ 2 \bar s}{ \bar u+ \bar d} etc.. Our results are consistent with the recent experimental observations.
