The present research aimed to investigate parental bonding (father care,
mother care, father control, mother control) as a predictor of shyness,
self- esteem and self-image in teenagers. It was hypothesized that there
was a relationship among shyness, self-esteem, and self-image. It was
further hypothesized that there would be gender differences in parental
bonding, shyness, self-esteem, and self-image. The sample comprised of
160 teenagers (boys = 80 & girls = 80), age ranged from 16 to 19 years.
Data were collected from private colleges situated in the city of Lahore.
To assess parental bonding, Parental Bonding Instrument was used
(Parker, Tupling, & Brown, 1979). Shyness was measured by using
Cheek and Buss Shyness Scale (Cheek & Buss, 1983). Self-Image
Profile was used to measure self-esteem and self-image (Butler &
Gasson, 2004). Stepwise regression analysis was carried out to find out
the predictors of shyness, self-esteem and self-image. Pearson product
moment correlation was used to find out the relationship among the
variables. t-test was used to find out gender differences. Parental
bonding emerged as a strong predictor of shyness, self- esteem and selfimage. Moreover, there was a negative relationship of shyness with selfesteem and self-image. No significant gender differences were found in
shyness, self-esteem and self-image.
