“…Children who perceive parental rejection may have psychological adaptation problems and disorders, use addictive substances, suffer from disturbances in academic and cognitive aspects, and experience problems in their marriages (Rohner, 1994). Furthermore, it was found in a previous study that as maternal rejection increased, the levels of psychoticism and neuroticism also increased, while the level of extraversion decreased (Shahid et al, 2009). Children exposed to parental rejection are more inclined to display negative characteristics such as hostility, passive aggression or anger management issues, dependence or defensive independence, distorted self-esteem, emotional unresponsiveness, neuroticism, and a negative world view compared to accepted children (Rohner & Britner, 2002).…”

The objective of this study is to determine whether there was a relationship between maternal acceptance and rejection and children’s temperament characteristics, and to examine whether children’s temperament predicted maternal acceptance and rejection. The sample was composed of 349 four to six years old preschool children and their mothers. The data were collected using Parental Acceptance and Rejection/Control Scale (Parental Form) and Child Behavior List (Short Form). The data were analysed using Pearson’s Correlation Analysis and the Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. According to the study results, there were significant, correlational and predictive relationships between certain temperament characteristics and maternal acceptance and rejection.

“…The Rorschach studies specifically propose that an inability to make attachments may be a central aspect of psychopathy. In the same way, Shahid et al (2009) analyzed from their study that paternal rejection is positively correlated with psychoticism but negatively correlated with extraversion. The result revealed that there was no significant correlation between paternal rejection and neuroticism.…”

<p>The present study aimed to explore the psychopathic tendencies in relation to childhood trauma, psychological adjustment, emotion regulation and parental patterns of acceptance-rejection towards their adolescents and the influence of demographic variables in socio-cultural context of Pakistan. Translated versions of Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire; Child PARQ, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Personality Assessment Questionnaire, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Youth Psychopathic Trait Inventory and bio-data form containing information regarding different demographic variables were used in order to collect the data from the participants. The sample consisted of 600 adolescents (281 males; 319 females) with age ranged between 13 and 17 were selected with convenient random sampling from different private and public schools of the three major cities of Punjab; Lahore, Gujrat and Sialkot. The results indicated psychological maladjustment as the most significant predictor of psychopathic tendencies. However, emotion regulation appeared to be as the most significant predictor of psychopathic tendencies in male adolescents and parental acceptance-rejection (mother) in female adolescents. The results further indicated that age, father’s education and profession, mother’s education and monthly income are significant determinants of psychopathic tendencies in participants of the study.</p>

“…This may be regarded as one of the factors contributing to challenges associated with motherhood because in such cases, it becomes the woman's responsibility to provide financial support for the child. Women who experience challenges in their journey of motherhood may suffer from depression, abuse substances and may end up rejecting and/or abandoning their children (Gao and Liu, 2016;Kathree et al, 2014;Shahid et al, 2009). This may lead to mother absence due to women being emotionally absent in their children's lives.…”

“…It may occur when parents portray a variety of physically and psychologically hurtful behaviours that negatively affect children. Parental rejection is often caused by the parent's feelings of hostility, anger and resentment, which could be as a result of personal issues including dispute among parents (Shahid et al, 2009). This may lead to parents rejecting the child while they are living in the same household.…”

Unpacking the social constructions of motherhood: exploring mother presence among young African women.

The experience of pregnancy and childbirth are life changing for women. In most African societies, childcare is often a woman’s responsibility. The motherhood journey of a young woman may be significantly impacted by the presence and/or absence of a biological mother. The presence of a biological mother is regarded as important in all stages of development, particularly for female children. However, mothers are absent for a number of reasons including their death. The absence of a biological mother exposes children to various challenges, including poverty, poor educational attainments and health issues. A growing body of research in South Africa has focused on father absence; however, few has explored mother absence and the implications this has on children. Therefore, this study aimed to unpack the meaning of motherhood as socially constructed by young African women in a township of KwaZulu-Natal province. The study sought to explore the perspectives and experiences of young women, taking into consideration the presence and/or absence of a biological mother. A qualitative research methodology was employed and data was obtained through telephonic interviews with 20 young women who grew up living with the presence of their biological mothers as well as 20 young women who grew up in the absence of their biological mothers. Young women were recruited using purposive and snowball sampling. The findings of the study suggest that the presence of a biological mother was significant for women who fell pregnant at a young age. Even though grandmothers and extended family members were actively supporting young women who had absent mothers, the presence of a biological mother was deemed essential for women. The transition from girlhood to motherhood was accompanied by numerous implications for young women. Financial challenges stemming from unemployment, poor economic backgrounds and father absence affected young mothers. This negatively impacted education and career aspiration of certain young women. The study recommends the involvement of families, government and private stakeholders in supporting young mothers. This can be achieved by enhancing family support programmes within communities. Furthermore, the promotion of Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) is deemed important for the reduction of high rates of unemployment among young women in South Africa.
