Abstract
Present research investigated the relationship between
parental acceptance-rejection and social adjustment in
congenitally amputee children. Equal number of boys and
girls (N=40, ages 9-13 years) were taken from various
institutes for physically handicapped children, Islamabad,
Pakistan. Urdu version of the short form of Parental
Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (Child PARQ; Mother
and Father; Rohner, 2004) and Social Adjustment
Questionnaire (SAQ; Najam & Ejaz, 2007) were
administered to participants. Results show a significant
positive correlation between warmth and social adjustment
and a significant negative correlation among aggression,
neglect and parental undifferentiated rejection and social
adjustment of amputee children. There was significant
difference in the mean scores of SAQ between children
reporting acceptance and rejection from mother and father
indicating greater social adjustment in accepted children.
