    (University of Management and Technolog, 2017) Adeeba Younas
    The current study aimed to investigate the relationship among Perceived Parental Rearing Practices, Self-Concept and Psycho-Social Problems of Females who do not marry over a certain age. The study was carried out with the help of three Scales EMBU-A (Gerlsma, Arrindell, Vanderveen, &Emmelkamp, 1991). Self-Concept ((Yanico& Lu, 2000), Psycho-Social Problems of Unmarried Females Scale. A sample of 170 unmarried (51% working and 49% non-working) from different Offices, academies, universities and homes with the age range of 30-45 years were selected through purposive sampling. Findings of study showed that unmarried females who perceive more emotional warmth from their parents tend to face less psycho-social problems and hence their self-concept is high. Besides that, unmarried females who perceive rejection or over-protection from their parents, they tend to face more psycho-social problems and their self-concept is also low. Results also predicted that age and family system has no effect on psycho-social problems of unmarried females but profession such as working and non-working, socio-economic status, no. of married siblings and education has greater impact on psycho-social problems of unmarried females. With EMBU-A, socio-economic status has found in significant relationship and with self-concept, profession and socio-economic status was found in significant relationship
