IPARTheory (previously known as PARTheory) has moved further than looking at parental acceptance and its' effect on the psychological adjustment of Human beings. The step ahead is to provide evidence how interpersonal acceptance and rejection by significant others in our life affect our development and relationships everywhere in the world regardless of differences in gender, SES, age, race, ethnicity, culture, or any other defining conditions. The research provides a compelling evidence for positive outcomes of acceptance as opposed to rejection (Rohner & Veneziano, 2001; Khaleque & Rohner, 2002; Khaleque & Rohner, 2011; Erkman, Carrasco, & Rohner, 2013; Parmar, 2011; & Rohner, 2014). This research investigates for the first time to look at the relationship of Grand Parent's acceptance in addition to parents and its impact on psychological adjustment in Emerging adulthood. The results are discussed in relation to the gender, age, and culture of the respondents.

Abstract


IPARTheory (previously known as PARTheory) has moved further than looking at parental acceptance and its' effect on the psychological adjustment of Human beings. The step ahead is to provide evidence how interpersonal acceptance and rejection by significant others in our life affect our development and relationships everywhere in the world regardless of differences in gender, SES, age, race, ethnicity, culture, or any other defining conditions. The research provides a compelling evidence for positive outcomes of acceptance as opposed to rejection (Rohner & Veneziano, 2001; Khaleque & Rohner, 2002; Khaleque & Rohner, 2011; Erkman, Carrasco, & Rohner, 2013; Parmar, 2011; & Rohner, 2014). This research investigates for the first time to look at the relationship of Grand Parent's acceptance in addition to parents and its impact on psychological adjustment in Emerging adulthood. The results are discussed in relation to the gender, age, and culture of the respondents.
