Abstract
Cross-cultural evidence shows that all children experience more or less
acceptance and rejection at the hands of the people most important to them, usually
their parents. Research reported here is based on Rohner’s Parental Acceptance-
Rejection Theory (PART) [6] of Socialization and conducted using the child version
of the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) in a sample of 220
Greek speaking Cypriot boys and girls ranging in age from 9-12 years. Our research
aimed at (a) developing a profile of the dimension “parental warmth” (acceptancerejection)
as experienced by Greek Cypriot children, and (b) drawing cross-cultural
comparisons between the Greek Cypriot children’s assessment of parental attitudes
and those of their peers in the USA. A two-sample t-test was used to compare the
responses of our subjects on the four scales of the instrument regarding gender and
nationality.
