Data were collected from 407 students from three ethnocultural groups: European Canadians, Arab Canadians, and Arabs in the Middle East (Egypt and Lebanon). The experience of parental rejection in childhood played a critical role in subsequent adjustment. A tested model of parenting and adjustment revealed that individuals rejected in childhood were less likely to enjoy a high level of psychological well-being, more likely to engage in risky behaviour, less likely to be satisfied with their lives, and more likely to encounter sociocultural difficulties in young adulthood. Furthermore, psychological well-being mediated the relationships between parental rejection and both risky behaviour and life satisfaction. These patterns of associations were found to be consistent across the groups. Differences in terms of self-construal and parenting practices are also discussed. | | Subject | : | Education; Psychology; Educational psychology; Developmental psychology; 0525:Educational psychology; 0620:Developmental psychology | | Added Entry | : | University of Guelph (Canada) |
