    (Journal of Social Sciences., 2015) Sadia Saleem; Sara Subhan; Zahid Mahmood
    This study provides a validation of EMBU-C on Pakistani adolescents. 1279 adolescents were selected through multistage sampling with the age range of 12-18 (M 13.93, SD 1.83). The participants were given a modified version of EMBU-C Muris, Meesters, & van Brakel, 2003), School Children Problem Scale (SCPS, Saleem & Mahmood, 2011) and a demographic performa. The result showed that EMBU-C produced almost similar factorial structure to the original (4 factors).The EMBU-C was found to have satisfactory internal consistency and proved a reliable and valid scale for Pakistani culture. The results revealed the perceived Parental Warmth was found to be a negative predictors and Parental Rejection was found to be a positive predictor of mental health problems (p<0.001). The results are discussed in terms of gender differences and cultural and clinical implication of parental rearing practices.
