“…Accordingly, the most basic needs of children are the care, comfort, support and love that will be provided by their parents. The whole humanity has this need, regardless of culture, race, physical characteristics, social status, language, geography and the other similar restrictive conditions (Khaleque & Rohner, 2002). Rohner's (2004) definition of parental acceptance and rejection form the warmth dimension of parenting.…”

The "Personal Information Form", the "Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire-Mother Form (PARQ)", the "Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation-30 (SCBE-30)" and the "Emotion Regulation Checklist" were used as data collection tools.As a result of the study, it has been found that there is a positive significant relationship between maternal acceptance level and children's "Social Competence" subscale of SCBE-30 and their emotional regulation skills. In addition to this result, it has been found that maternal acceptance level didn't differentiated according to age and gender of the child; however the average scores of PARQ's "Warmth/Affection" subscale have been differentiated in favor of the girls. It has been found that "Social Competence" and "Anger-Aggression" subscales of SCBE-30 were significantly differentiated according to gender; "Anger-Aggression" scores of the boys were higher than the girls, whereas "Social Competence" scores of the girls were higher than the boys. Moreover, it has been found that "Lability-Negativity" subscale scores of Emotion Regulation Checklist have been differentiated according to gender; girls showing less labile/negative emotional reactions.

Abstract:The rapid modernization in the Kingdom of Bahrain has brought wealth and prosperity but also many stresses in its traditional social roles and relations. The advent of juvenile delinquency is regarded as a symptom of such social changes. In this study, certain measures were administered to a group of 30 juvenile offenders which were compared with those of 30 high school pupils who had no prior record of delinquency. Interrelations with delinquency versus non-delinquency statuses were hypothesized among the following study variables; family conditions, measured by the Parental Acceptance/Rejection Questionnaire and the ego development, measured by the Washington University Sentence Completion Test. Both these instruments were tested before by translation into Arabic and application on Arabic populations. The results showed that certain social and economic status criteria were significantly related to the delinquency status. Discriminant analysis revealed that level of ego development contributed enormously more to the prediction than any single another variable. Significant contributions were also made by the level of mother's education, of father's occupation and other family conditions such as the father being married to more than one wife and mothers being strictly housewives only. These findings reveal social psychological changes due to rapid modernization that affect the core of the family system.

Investigation of relationship between parental acceptance and psychological adjustment among university students Objective: In this study, it is aimed to test the relations between parental acceptance/rejection and psychological adjustment variables by using structural equation modeling. Another aim of the study is to investigate the study variables in terms of gender. Method: The sample of the study is formed by 271 females, 135 males out of 406 students aged in 19-36 who are studying at Ankara University. Demographic Information Form, Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ), and Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ) have been conducted to the participants in this study. Results: When the perceived acceptance/rejection from the mother was examined, it was seen that males perceived their mothers more rejective than females in terms of sub-scales of warmth/affection, hostility/aggression, indifference and total maternal acceptance/rejection. When the perceived acceptance/rejection from the father was examined in terms of sub-scales, in all sub-scales (warmth/ affection, hostility/aggression, indifference/neglect and undifferentiated rejection) and in total scores males perceived their fathers more rejective than females. In terms of sub-scales of psychological adjustment; in sub-scale of hostility, negative self-esteem, negative self-adequacy and emotional unresponsiveness males scored higher; but in the sub-scale of dependence females scored higher. In the analysis, it was found that the suggested hypothetical model is valid. In the structural model, the latent variables of parental acceptance/rejection predict the psychological adjustment latent variable. Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings have proven that parental acceptance/rejection predicts the psychological adjustment consistent with the theory of Parental Acceptance/Rejection (PARTheory) and the studies in literature. The results of the study have been discussed within the context of PARTheory and the studies in the literature.
