Abstract

The issue of possible relationships between perceived parental rearing styles, the development of personality characteristics and psychopathological disorders is a topic of great interest, as many of its aspects remain insufficiently known. In this study we've compared two samples - depressed versus non-depressed adult subjects - assessing their memories of parental rearing styles in childhood and adolescence. Although this is an exploratory research, the results obtained indicate a significant relationship between a number of parental attitudes (overprotection, rejection and emotional support) and adult adjustment or disturbance.
