Parent-Child Relationship Among Undergraduate Students
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The term parent-child relationship refers to the unique and enduring bond between a caregiver and his or her child. To understand the parent child relationship, we must look at the ways that parent and children interact with one another physically, emotionally, and socially. Think about your parents. How did your relationship with your parents contribute to who you are today, or did it? Many psychologists believe that the relationships between parents and children are very important in determining who we become and how we relate to others and the world. The study examined the relationship among undergraduate students. The sample included 160 both male and female out of which were 79 males and 81 females. The 10 dimensions of the scale namely: Protecting, Symbolic Punishment, Rejecting, Object Punishment, Demanding, Indifferent, Symbolic Reward, Loving, Object Reward, Neglecting were considered for analysis. The results reveal that there is no significance difference between the parent-child relationship in girls and boys of age 18-21.
