This paper examines relationship between perceived inter-parental
conflicts, emotional security and self-discipline in adolescents. The sample
comprised of 200 adolescents recruited from four government schools of
Lahore, Pakistan. For assessment, Children Perception of Inter-Parental
Conflicts Scale (Grych, Seid, & Fincham, 1992), Belongingness and
Emotional Security Tool (Frey, Cushing, Freundlich, & Brenner, 2008)
and Brief Self-Control Scale (Tangney, Baumeister, & Boone, 2004) were
used. Results showed significant negative relationship of perceived
frequency & intensity of inter-parental conflict, self-blame and lack of
coping efficacy with emotional security. Resolution and stability
dimensions of inter-parental conflict showed significant positive
relationship with emotional security in adolescents. Results showed
significant negative relationship of perceived inter-parental conflicts
(frequency, intensity, content and self-blame) with self-discipline and
significant positive relationship of perceived inter-parental conflicts
(resolution) with self-discipline in adolescents. Results further showed that
emotional security partially mediated relationship between perceived
inter-parental conflicts and self-discipline in adolescents. Moreover, girls
were emotionally more secured and self-disciplined as compared to boys.
Findings of the present study highlight importance of healthy interparental relationships for healthy emotional development of adolescents.
