Abstract
The present study was aimed to investigate the relationship between
parental conditional regard and parent-adolescents’ relationship
quality; where emotional state (i.e., positive affect and negative
affect) played role as moderating variable. Questionnaires were
administered on a sample of 646 late adolescents aged 18-24 years
(M = 20.35, SD = 1.65) including 49.7 % boys and 50.3% girls taken
from various public and private universities of five major cities of
Pakistan. The findings revealed that conditional regard by father has
a significant negative impact on relationship quality of both parents.
The findings also revealed that emotional state played a significant
moderating role in relationship of parental conditional regard and
relationship quality. Further, gender differences were also explored.
Altogether, the result supported the hypothesized moderation model.
The findings are discussed in particular reference to Pakistani family
dynamics and socialization practices.
