Analysis of the Impact of Parental Acceptance, Rejection, Emotional Regulation, and Coping Strategies on Students

This study looks into pupils' coping mechanisms, emotional control, and parental acceptance and rejection. Convenience sampling was used to choose the participants, and the final sample consisted of 300 students between the ages of 16 and 24 from both public and private colleges and institutions. The Coping Scale (Hamby et al., 2013), the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003), and the Adult Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire (Mother and Father Versions) (Rohner, 1978) were used to collect data. The data was analysed using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The sample characteristics were described using percentages and frequencies. Pearson The hypotheses were tested using t-tests, correlation, and mediation analysis.. While correlation analysis showed important links between the variables, descriptive analysis gave a summary of the demographic features. Males reported higher degrees of warmth and affection, while females reported lower levels of parental acceptance and rejection. The association between coping techniques and parental acceptance-rejection was mediated by emotion regulation, according to mediation analysis, however the latter's influence was not statistically significant.
