PERCEPTION OF PARENTAL ACCEPTANCE-REJECTION AND SOME PERSONALITY VARIABLES IN YOUNG ADULTS
PERCEPTION OF PARENTAL ACCEPTANCE-REJECTION AND SOME PERSONALITY VARIABLES IN YOUNG ADULTS

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between Rohner's dimensions of parental behavior, as retrospectively perceived by young aduits, and some personality variables that are postulated to be associated with them. 130 female and 94 male students of the University of Zagreb participated in the study. The mean age of the sample was 21 years. Parental behavior of both mothers and fathers was assessed by the 32 -items version of Rohner's Adult Parental Acceptance Rejection Questionnaire that asks aduits to reflect on the way they were treated when they were at the age of about 7 to 12 years old. The subjects assessed parental behavior in terms of four dimensions: perceived warmth and affection, perceived hostility and aggression, perceived indifference and neglect and perceived undifferentiated rejection.
