Abstract


The present study was to investigate the happiness and inter parental acceptance and rejection among the boys and girls between the ages of 12-14 years. The current study investigated the interpersonal acceptance rejection and its sub dimensions (warmth/ affection, aggression/hostility, neglect/indifference, and rejection) gender wise, the impact of levels of interpersonal acceptance- rejection and its sub dimensions on happiness of the total sample. The findings revealed significant difference in interpersonal acceptance rejection and happiness in male and female students; the females showed better happiness and the males depicted less warmth, and more rejected feelings, than the females in the sample. Further, high happiness group was significantly higher as compared to low happiness group on parental warmth/affection. Low happiness group was significantly higher as compared to high happiness group on parental aggression/hostility, parental neglect/indifference, and parental rejection.
