Abstract
Assessment of perceived inter-parental conflict and parental rejection is
an important area of research related to personality maladjustment. The
present research explored relationship between perceived inter-parental
conflict, parental rejection and personality maladjustment in University
students. Research also focused on exploring inter-parental conflict and
parental rejection as predictors of personality maladjustment. Sample
comprised of 120 students with equal number of girls and boys with
mean age of 18 years (SD = 0.59, 0.58 respectively) and were recruited
from a public sector University in Lahore, Pakistan. Children’s
Perception of Inter-parental Conflict Scale (CPIC; Grych & Fincham,
1990), Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ; Rohner &
Khaleaque, 2005) and Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ;
Rohner & Khaleaque, 2005) were used for assessment. Results showed
that inter-parental conflict and parental rejection had significant positive
relationship with personality maladjustment. Inter-parental conflict and
parental rejection emerged as significant predictors of personality
maladjustment. Research findings have implications for parents and
counselors/clinicians who deal with adolescents.
