Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, we investigated the relationship between childhood parental rejection and adulthood anxiety in Gilgit. We approached 500 participants (males: 251 & females: 249) from different places of Gilgit, with age ranged from 18 to 70 years. The parental acceptance-rejection questionnaire (for mother & father) and the mental health inventory were used to examine the childhood parental rejection and adulthood anxiety in Gilgit. Research results indicated that childhood parental rejection was significantly correlated with adulthood anxiety i.e., adulthood anxiety increases with the increase of childhood maternal and paternal rejection. Additionally, there was no significant gender difference in anxiety.
