(UMT.Lahore, 2024) Adam Imran; Farheen Leaique
This research aims to explore the connection within practices adopted by parents, traumatic events and delinquent tendencies. The research was conducted on 180 individuals who had an age that ranged from 13 to 19 years (M = 16.2, SD = 1.77). Total number of participants was 180 with a clear dispersion of 50% from both genders. Coming to a distribution of educational institutions, 95 of the participants studied in public institutes and 85 belonged to private institutes. Analysis was done with the help of correlation, Analysis of Variation, t-test and regression. It was discovered from the results that delinquent tendencies had a negative relationship with traumatic events. Moreover, it was also found that emotional warmth, anxious rearing and delinquent tendencies had a strong direct relationship. The researchers discovered that traumatic events and facing rejection from parents produced a direct relation between one another which indicated that rejection is felt as a traumatizing event. The demographic variables found that a higher percentage of delinquency existed in male participants and also that those who had been studying in public institutes. Lastly, it was found that a family system revolving around joint type raises the level of delinquency and also that social class had no effect on it.
