Prof. Dr. Madhu Gupta, Bindiya Lakhani

Abstract :

The present study was designed to investigate the impact of parenting and its modes (rejection vs acceptance, carelessness vs protection, neglect vs indulgence, utopian expectation vs realism, lenient standard vs moralism, freedom vs discipline, faulty role expectation vs realistic role expectation; and marital conflict vs marital adjustment) on self–confidence of school students. While employing descriptive survey method, the present study was conducted on a sample of 400 school students. The sample was selected by using random sampling techniques. Self–confidence Scale developed by Gupta & Lakhani and Parenting Scale developed by Bhardwaj, Sharma and Garg were used for data collection. Means, SDs were worked out to describe the nature of the data and ‘t’ test was applied to test the significance of different groups. The findings revealed significant impact of parenting and its modes on self–confidence of school students. Significant impact of mothering and fathering on self–confidence of school students were also observed.  Therefore, it is suggested that parents should have verbal and non–verbal communication with the child, they should give material or other rewards to appreciable their efforts, behaviors and achievements which works as wonder to recognize their individual entity.
