“…It is appeared from the results of the present study that both maternal acceptance and paternal acceptance have significant effect on the mental health which are fairly consistent with several other studies (for example [13], [4]). In addition, the findings indicated that remembered maternal acceptance is a stronger predictor of mental health than remembered paternal acceptance of adults which is not consistent with the previous research finding on Bangladeshi samples, where contribution of father was reported greater [25]. This inconsistency might be attributed to a relatively small sample size of the present study.…”

“…It was found from the results of the study that both men and women perceived their mothers as well as fathers to be fairly accepted in their childhood which is consistent with some previous research findings on Bangladeshi samples [25], [26]. Moreover there was no significant gender difference between remembered maternal and paternal acceptance, although significant gender differences were found in mental health and selfefficacy.…”

The present study explored the relation of remembered parental (paternal and maternal) acceptance in childhood with mental health and self-efficacy of adults in Bangladesh. The sample consisted of 150 adults (50% women) ages 18 through 25 years (M = 22.01years) from Bangladesh. The measures used Results of the correlation analyses indicated that remembered maternal and paternal acceptances were significantly correlated with adults' mental health and self-efficacy. Results of multiple regression analyses revealed that maternal and paternal acceptance were significant predictors of mental health and self-efficacy. The present findings may be useful to researchers and practitioners who are concerned with impacts of childhood attachment relationships on the psychological wellbeing and quality of life of people.

“…The results of an overview of 12 meta-analyses summarizing results from 31 countries and 149 440 participants (Khaleque & Ali, 2017) support the basic postulates of IPARTheory and confirm the cross-cultural robustness of the scales used in IPARTheory research. However, it must be noted that existing studies (e.g., Geitsidou & Giovazolias, 2016;Khaleque, Shirin, & Uddin, 2013;Malik & Rohner, 2016;Rohner, Melendez, & Kraimer-Rickaby, 2008) almost exclusively have focused on the warmth (acceptance-rejection) dimension of PARQ/Control and IPAR/CQ. There are comparatively fewer studies (e.g., Khaleque, 2012) assessing the effects of intimate partner behavioral control on individuals' psychological and relational outcomes.…”

Despite the large growth of close relationships literature, partner behavioral control has been rarely the primary focus of research. It is also evident that the instruments for measuring partner behavioral control are scarce. Thus, the present study aims to develop and validate a 9-item Brief Partner Behavioral Control Scale (B-PBCS). The validity and reliability of the B-PBCS were examined in a sample of emerging adults (N = 511; 81.8% females; Range age = 18-25) who are currently in a premarital romantic relationship. To assess psychometric properties of the B-PBCS, we conducted a series of tests examining factor structure (exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses), measurement invariance (configural and metric invariance), reliability (internal consistency and test-retest reliability), and predictive validity. Results demonstrated that the B-PBCS has a two-factor solution (overt and covert partner behavioral control), acceptable measurement invariance, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and predictive validity. The overt partner behavioral control at baseline assessment has been linked to romantic relationship conflict and psychological distress at 14-week follow-up assessment even after controlling for sex, age, and relationship duration. In conclusion, the B-PBCS offers a valid and brief measure for assessing partner behavioral control.

“…The reasons may be that in a patriarchal society, as in Bangladesh, the father is perceived as having more power and prestige than the mother in the family (Sultana & Khaleque, 2016). Consequently, the father is likely to exercise more power and influence on children than the mother (Khaleque et al, 2013).…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of perceived paternal and maternal acceptance on the bicultural orientations and psychological adjustment of ethnic-minority young adults in Bangladesh. The study was based on a sample of 412 young adults (mean age 22 years), consisting of 40% women and 60% men from 18 tribal subgroups in Bangladesh. Measures used were Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ), Bicultural Attitude Scale (BAS) and Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ). Results showed that there are significant positive correlations between perceived parental (paternal and maternal) acceptance, heritage culture, and psychological adjustment of the respondents. Results further showed that perceived paternal acceptance has independent and stronger effect than perceived maternal acceptance on the bicultural orientations and psychological adjustment of the minority young adults in Bangladesh.
