Parental Rejection Predicts Greater Impairments in Recognition of Facially Expressed Emotions Among Substance Users Than Nonusers
This study examined the long‐term effects of parental rejection in childhood on the ability of men with and without substance use disorder (SUD) to recognise facially expressed emotions. A sample of 700 men (350 with SUD, 350 nonusers) completed the Adult Parental Acceptance‐Rejection Questionnaire to assess memories of parental rejection in childhood and the Adult Personality Assessment Questionnaire to measure psychological maladjustment. The a…

Memories of Parental Rejection in Childhood and Current Psychological Maladjustment Predict Men's Problems Recognising Facial Expressions of Emotion
This study investigated whether men's memories of parental rejection in childhood affect their ability to recognise facial expressions of six basic emotions, possibly mediated by their current psychological maladjustment. Participants, including 350 men ( M age = 28.29, SD = 5.69) responded to the mother and father short forms of the Adult Parental Acceptance‐Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) and the Adult Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ).…

Measurement invariance of the Child Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire-Short Form across parental versions, age, gender, clinical status, and time
This study aimed to investigate the factorial structure and measurement invariance of the Romanian version of the Child Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire- Short Form (Child-PARQ, short form) across parents, age, gender, clinical status, and time. Participants were 1,237 youths (community sample: N = 1,033; clinical sample: N = 204) aged 11–18 years old. The analysis was conducted using R. The factorial structure of the scale was assesse…
Memories of parental rejection and fear of intimacy: The role of psychological maladjustment, interpersonal anxiety, and rejection by an intimate Partner
All you fear is love: The roles of rejection by intimate others
Interpersonal acceptance‐rejection theory (IPARTheory) asserts that recollections of parental rejection in childhood tend to result in psychological maladjustment and intimacy problems in later romantic relationships. Informed by IPARTheory, we investigated the association between maternal & paternal rejection, and fear of intimacy by the mediating role of psychological maladjustment in a Turkish sample with 462 mostly young adults. We further ex…
Introduction to Interpersonal Acceptance-Rejection Theory (Ipartheory) and Evidence
Interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory (IPARTheory) is an evidence-based theory of socialization and lifespan development. It is composed of three subtheories, each of which deals with a separate but interrelated set of issues. IPARTheory’s personality subtheory – which is the most highly developed component of the theory – deals primarily with the pancultural nature and effects of interpersonal acceptance and rejection. Coping subtheory explo…

Psychological maladjustment mediates the relation between recollections of parental rejection in childhood and adults' fear of intimacy in Italy
Grounded in interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory, this study examined the relation between recollections of parental rejection during childhood and fear of intimacy (FOI) in adulthood, as mediated by adults' psychological maladjustment. In Study 1, the Fear of Intimacy Scale (FIS) was adapted for use in Italy. Its psychometric properties were investigated in a sample of 635 adults (51% women; 18-35 years). Confirmatory factor analysis, relia…
Psychological Maladjustment Mediates the Relation Between Remembrances of Parental Rejection in Childhood and Adults’ Fear of Intimacy: A Multicultural Study
This study assesses interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory’s (IPARTheory’s) prediction that adults’ (both men’s and women’s) remembrances of parental (both maternal and paternal) rejection in childhood are likely to be associated with adults’ fear of intimacy, as mediated by adults’ psychological maladjustment and relationship anxiety. The study also assesses the prediction that these associations will not vary significantly by gender, ethnici…
They Love Me Not: A Meta-Analysis of Relations Between Parental Undifferentiated Rejection And Offspring's Psychological Maladjustment
Extensive cross-cultural evidence supports the conclusion that children and adults everywhere understand themselves to be cared about (accepted) or not cared about (rejected) by the people most important to them (e.g., parents) in four ways. These four ways include the perception of warmth/affection (or coldness/lack of affection), hostility/aggression, indifference/neglect, and undifferentiated rejection. In addition, extensive cross-cultural ev…

Deep Structure of the Human Affectional System: Introduction to Interpersonal Acceptance–Rejection Theory
Interpersonal acceptance–rejection theory (IPARTheory) proposes that across cultures and other sociodemographic groups, interpersonal acceptance and rejection consistently predict the psychological and behavioral adjustment of children and adults (Rohner, 1986, 2004). The goals of this article are to provide a description of the major tenets of IPARTheory, summarize findings from empirical tests of the theory, and suggest future directions tied t…
The Adult Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire: A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Italian and American Short Forms
SYNOPSISObjective. The aims of this article were to test the measurement invariance of the Italian and American versions of the Adult Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire and to compare adults’ remembrances of parental acceptance–rejection across the two nations. Design. The Adult Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire was administered to 564 Italian adults (M = 23.04 years) and 509 U.S. American adults (M = 22.09 years), matched by g…

Influence of Perceived Teacher Acceptance and Parental Acceptance on Youth’s Psychological Adjustment and School Conduct: A Cross-Cultural Meta-Analysis
This cross-cultural meta-analysis tests the contribution of teachers’ and parents’ acceptance to youth’s psychological adjustment and school conduct. It is based on nine studies involving 2,422 school-going youth in 12 nations. The study addressed two questions drawn from one of the basic postulates of interpersonal acceptance–rejection theory (IPARTheory): (a) To what extent are boys’ and girls’ perceptions of teacher acceptance related internat…
Adults’ Remembrances of Parental Acceptance–Rejection in Childhood Predict Current Rejection Sensitivity in Adulthood
Interpersonal acceptance–rejection theory predicts that the experience of parental rejection in childhood leads to the development of rejection sensitivity that tends to extend into adulthood. This study provides the first test of this prediction within the framework of the theory. Self‐report surveys were administered to 271 undergraduates (M age = 21.73). Adults’ remembrances of both maternal and paternal acceptance–rejection in childhood were …
Pancultural Gender Differences in the Relation Between Perceived Parental Acceptance and Psychological Adjustment of Children and Adult Offspring: A Meta-Analytic Review of Worldwide Research
This cross-cultural meta-analysis is based on 220 studies involving 33,081 respondents from 23 nations across five continents. The study addressed a major question drawn from the basic postulates of interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory (IPARTheory): Is the psychological adjustment of both males and females universally (i.e., panculturally) associated with children's and adults' perceptions of both maternal and paternal acceptance in childhoo…

Parental Acceptance-Rejection: Theory, Methods, Cross-Cultural Evidence, and Implications
This article summarizes concepts, methods, cross-cultural evidence, and implications of parental acceptance-rejection theory (PARTheory). The theory focuses primarily on parental love-its expressions, impact, and origins. Nearly 2,000 studies in the United States and cross-culturally confirm the widely held belief that children everywhere need acceptance (love) from parents and other attachment figures. Evidence has shown that when this need is n…
Perceived Parental Acceptance-Rejection and Psychological Adjustment: A Meta-Analysis of Cross-Cultural and Intracultural Studies
Meta-analytic procedures were used to pool information from 43 studies worldwide to test one of the major postulates of parental acceptance-rejection theory (PARTheory). Specifically, using child and adult versions of the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) and the Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ), these studies allowed us to assess the claim within PARTheory's personality subtheory that perceived parental acceptance-reje…
Toward a Conception of Culture for Cross-Cultural Psychology
The concept "culture" in cross-cultural psychology remains largely unexamined theoretically, and is often undifferentiated from other core behavioral science concepts such as "social system" and "society." As a result, the theoretical usefulness and research value of these constructs have been diminished seriously. In order to provide the beginnings of a theory of "culture" for heuristic use in cross-cultural psychology, an attempt is made in thi…
Worldwide Mental Health Correlates of Parental Acceptance-Rejection: Review of Cross-Cultural and Intracultural Evidence
Cross-cultural and intracultural evidence converges on the conclusion that four classes of mental health issues are possible worldwide correlates of parental acceptance-rejection. Strongest evidence supports parental acceptance-rejection theory's personality subtheory that postulates a universal relationship between perceived parental acceptance-rejection and psychological adjustment. Substantial evidence also supports the likelihood of worldwide…
Reliability of Measures Assessing the Pancultural Association between Perceived Parental Acceptance-Rejection and Psychological Adjustment: A Meta-Analysis of Cross-Cultural and Intracultural Studies
Meta-analytic procedures from 51 studies worldwide were used to assess the reliability of the two self- report measures most commonly employed to test the transcultural association between perceived parental acceptance-rejection and psychological adjustment. These measures are the (a) Child, Adult, and Parent versions of the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) and (b) Child and Adult versions of the Personality Assessment Questionn…
Parental Warmth, Control, and Involvement in Schooling: Predicting Academic Achievement among Korean American Adolescents
This study explored the relationship between Baumrind's parenting prototypes and the academic achievement, judged by grade point average (GPA), of Korean American adolescents. It also examined the relative contribution to youth's academic achievement of perceived maternal and paternal warmth and control and involvement in schooling. Approximately 74% of the sample youth did not fit any of Baumrind's types, raising questions about their usefulness…

Mighty Sifts: A Critical Appraisal of Solutions to Galton's Problem and a Partial Solution [and Comments and Replies]
Galton's problem arises from historical connection between societies, which makes the canon of statistical independence inapplicable. The resulting indeterminacy of sample size renders standard tests of statistical significance also inapplicable. In addition, replication might bias results. Seven solutions to Galton's problem have been previously offered, and we have found all of them invalid. Three of them suffer from what we have termed the "sy…
Ethnographer Bias in Cross-Cultural Research: An Empirical Study
We direct attention in this paper to the problem of ethnographer bias (i.e. systematic errors occurring in the ethnographic reporting process) in cross-cultural research, and therefore in ethnographic fieldwork itself. Using multiple regression and other multivariate statistics, we assess the influence of ethnographer bias on the correlation between traits in the cross-cultural survey component of Rohner's Rejection-Acceptance Project (RAP).

Parental Acceptance-Rejection and Parental Control: Cross-Cultural Codes
Using Murdock and White's (I969) Standard Cross-Cultural Sample of I86 societies, this article presents a set of holocultural codes on two major dimensions of parental behavior; vit., parental acceptance-rejection and parental control. Children everywhere experience more or less warmth (acceptance-re jection) and control (permissiveness-strictness) from their parents or other major caretakers, and research evidence (Martin I975; Rohner I975; Rohn…

Universals in Youths' Perceptions of Parental Acceptance and Rejection: Evidence From Factor Analyses Within Eight Sociocultural Groups Worldwide
Research reported here used identical factor analytic procedures on individual items in the child version of the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) within each of eight sociocultural groups distributed widely around the world. Evidence and results from this research lend strong support to the presumption of con struct validity of the PARQ as a valid cross-cultural measure of the warmth dimension of parenting. As such, the instrume…
Pancultural Associations Between Perceived Parental Acceptance and Psychological Adjustment of Children and Adults: A Meta-Analytic Review of Worldwide Research
This meta-analysis tests the pancultural generalizability of two central postulates drawn from parental acceptance-rejection theory (PARTheory). The meta-analysis is based on 66 studies involving 19,511 respondents from 22 countries on five continents.

Relations among Perceived Intimate Partner Acceptance, Remembered Parental Acceptance, and Psychological Adjustment among Young Adults in India
The principal goal of this study was to explore the way in which remembered childhood experiences of maternal and paternal acceptance mediated or moderated the relation between perceived intimate-partner acceptance and the psychological adjustment of 79 young adults in India. Results of simple correlations showed a positive relationship between parental (mothers' and fathers') acceptance and psychological adjustment, and similarly between intimat…
Bridging Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory and Attachment Theory in the Preschool Strange Situation
Parental acceptance-rejection theory (PARTheory) and attachment theory evolved independently but along parallel lines, creating many similarities but also significant differences. This article is the first attempt to describe these similarities and differences, and to test expected linkages between theories using attachment theory's Preschool Strange Situation procedures. Results of analyses showed that PARTheory's parental behavior measures were…
Worldwide Tests of Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory: An Overview
Parental acceptance-rejection theory (PART) is a theory of socialization which attempts to predict major psychological, environmental, and main tenance systems conditions under which parents the world over are likely to accept or reject their children. It attempts as well to predict significant consequences of parental acceptance-rejection, both for behavioral devel opment and for selected institutionalized expressive features of society. Drawing…
Advantages of the Comparative Method of Anthropology
Reflecting anthropology's deep idiographic disposition, approximately 80 percent of anthropological research falls on the idiographic node of the idiographic-nomothetic continuum. Increasing numbers of anthropolo gists, however, are beginning to recognize the importance of cross-cultural, comparative, nomothetic research. Comparativists use five principal meth odologies in their research. These research designs vary in their relative power, i.e. …
Introduction: Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory Studies of Intimate Adult Relationships
The studies in this special issue explore three questions drawn from newly formulated postulates in parental acceptance-rejection theory: (a) To what extent is perceived acceptance or rejection by an intimate partner in adulthood associated with the same form of psychological adjustment or maladjustment that perceived parental acceptance-rejection is known to be in childhood? (b) To what extent do remembrances of maternal or paternal acceptance i…

Testing for Validity and Reliability in Cross-Cultural Research
A set of procedures is offered for assessing interraler reliability and certain aspects of validity of codes in cross-cultural studies. The method assumes that at least two independent raters have coded more than one trait. Each trait coded by one rater is correlated with each trait coded by a second, and all the codings by a single rater are intercorrelated with each other. The results are presented in a multitrait-multi-rater matrix. From this …

Proxemics and Stress: An Empirical Study of the Relationship Between Living Space and Roommate Turnover
Drawing upon prior work in animal and human proxemics as a general stimulus for .this research, we confirmed the hypothesis that male university students sharing rooms with twinbeds choose new roommates significantly more often than students sharing rooms with bunkbeds. All rooms were the same size and were provided by the university with the same basic furnishings. The critical difference in the two types of rooms appears to lie in the relativel…

Dominant Epistemological Presuppositions in the Use of the Cross-Cultural Survey Method [and Comments and Reply]
This article subjects to critical analysis the epistemological conceptions which have dominated the way cross-cultural survey research has been carried out and propagated within the anthropological discipline. These conceptions may be characterized as inductivist and empiricist. This orientation is critized primarily from the point of view of Popper's concept of science. In this context, problems of concept formation and theory construction as we…

Social Class Differences in Perceived Parental Acceptance-Rejection and Self-Evaluation among Korean-American Children
Drawing on a sample of sixteen middle class and nine working class Korean-American families, this study confirms two hypotheses: children in middle class Korean-American families perceive their mothers as being, overall, significantly less rejecting than do children in working class fami lies; and children in middle class Korean-American families show more positive feelings of self-esteem and self-adequacy than do children in working class Korean…
Perceived Parental Acceptance-Rejection and Children's Reported Behavioral Dispositions: A Comparative and Intracultural Study of American and Mexican Children
Drawing from a sample of 316 American and 174 Mexican children in the U.S.A. and in Mexico respectively, the hypothesis was supported that perceived parental acceptance-rejection among 8- to 15-year old school children in Mexico and the U.S.A. was generally related-as predicted by parental acceptance-rejection theory-to a specific constellation of reported behavioral dispositions. Perceived composite rejection was associated with approximately 46…
