The present study was designed to study the role of critical parenting in the development of irrational romantic beliefs and its impact on the mental health of the university students. A sample of 1298 university students, 593 males and 705 females was collected through stratified random sampling from public and private universities of Lahore. Irrational Romantic Belief Scale (Majeed, Ijaz, Naz, & Tariq, 2018), Critical Parenting Inventory (Randolph & Dykman,1996) and Mental Health Inventory (Veit & Ware, 1983) were used for measuring romantic irrationality, perception of critical parenting and mental health of the university students. Findings revealed that the critical parenting both from father and mother predicted increased psychological distress and compromised psychological well-being among university students. Moreover, overdependence by mother mediated psychological distress positively while awfulizing mediated it negatively both for father and mother. The current findings uniquely contribute to the existing literature by highlighting the role of parenting practices in cultivating the romantic irrationality and mental health problems in Pakistani Youth
