Abstract
Parental bonding is a crucial component for the acquisition of a positive attitude and better
academic performance among students. In this study, the correlational research design was to investigate
the relationship among parental bonding, self-regulation, proactive attitude, and academic performance in
university students. Data consisted of 200 university students with ages ranging from 18 to 24, selected
through non-probability purposive sampling technique. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation data collection was undertaken through an online Google form. Parental Bonding Instrument, Self-Regulation Scale
(SRS), Proactive Attitude Scale (PA), demographic sheet, and recently obtained GPA of each participant were
used for data collection. Correlation analysis showed that there is a significant positive correlation between
self-regulation and proactive attitude, control mother, and control father. Proactive attitude was found to
be positively correlated with control mother. Multiple regression analysis showed that the control mother
was a significant positive predictor of self-regulation whereas the care father was a negative predictor of selfregulation and the care mother was a negative predictor of proactive attitude. Independent sample t-test
results showed that there were significant gender differences between males and females based on GPA and
care father. Findings of the study would help broaden the understanding and knowledge of the role of parental
bonding as a predictor of self-regulation, proactive attitude, and academic performance in university students.
