Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to compare young adults with and without substance use disorders in terms of their self esteem and family environment. It is aimed to find out what the distinguishing factors are in terms of the perceived parental acceptance-rejection and parenting styles from mother and father. The sample of the study included 140 young adults (129 male, 11 female) aged between 15 and 25 years (Mean = 20.9) who were admitted to Ankara Alcohol and Substance Dependency Treatment and Training Center Clinic (AMATEM), and 146 (140 male, 6 female) young adults without substance use disorders matched in terms of demographic variables. The data were collected with the Personal Information Form containing demographic information, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSS), the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) and the Parenting Style Inventory (PSI). According to the results, participants with substance use disorders perceived significantly more maternal and paternal rejection, control, strictness/ supervision and less acceptance/involvement than the comparison group.
