The Relationship Between Parental Factors and Self-Esteem
Presenter(s)

Abstract
We analyzed past data collected, and were looking at what parental factors most predict and influence self-esteem in young adults. We ran a linear multiple regression and a bivariate correlation on six variables. The variables are father rejection, father parental-child-communication (P.C.C.), father parental conflicts, mother rejection, mother P.C.C, and mother parental conflicts. For the bivariate correlation we found a significant positive correlation for both father P.C.C and mother P.C.C on young adults’ self-esteem. We also found a significant negative correlation with Father rejection, father parental conflict, and mother parental conflict on self-esteem development. However, when we ran a linear multiple regression analysis, we found that only Father and mother P.C.C. was a significant predictor in self-esteem development. Our findings show that although most of our variables either correlate positively or negatively with self-esteem, only father and mother P.C.C was a significant predictor in self-esteem development. Our findings show that although most of our variables either correlate positively or negatively with self-esteem, only father and mother parent-child-communication during adolescents significantly predicted self-esteem in young adults.
