Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper was to establish the total and individual contributions of perceived mother and father acceptance-rejection in explaining the variance of perceived intimate partner acceptance-rejection in men and women. The research sample consisted of 225 participants, but from final statistical analysis were excluded participants who did not meet all the necessary criteria. Therefore, the final sample consists of 209 participants (113 female and 96 male). The average age of participants was M=29.30 (SD=6.44) for male and M=27.36 (SD=5.90) for female. The following instruments were applied: Socio-demographic Features Questionnaire, Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire and Intimate Partner Acceptance Rejection Questionnaire. The results of hierarchical regression analyses indicate that described set of predictor variables account for 14% of total variance of perceived intimate partner acceptance in women and 11% of total variance of perceived intimate partner acceptance in men. It was found that perceived intimate partner acceptance-rejection in both groups was significatly predicted by perceived parental acceptance-rejection of mothers. The obtained results indicate that both men and women who perceive a higher degree of acceptance by mothers also perceive a higher degree of intimate partner acceptance.
