| dc.description.abstract | The present research aimed to investigate the relationship between rejection sensitivity, perceived social support and psychological maladjustment among arranged married and choice married men and women. It was hypothesized that rejection sensitivity is likely to be negatively correlated with perceived social support and positively correlated with psychological maladjustment, whereas perceived social support will be negatively correlated with psychological maladjustment in arranged married and choice married men and women. Perceived social support is likely to be a moderator between rejection sensitivity and psychological maladjustment among arranged married and choice married men and women. Correlational (cross-sectional) research design was used. Sample was comprised of (N=121) married men (arrange, n=27, choice, n=35) with the age range 21 to 50 years (M=35.73, SD=8.89) and married women (arrange, n=21, choice, n=38) with the age range 21 to 50 years (M=36.36, SD=7.34). Urdu versions of Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire (RSQ_Adult) by Downey and Feldman (1996), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) by Dahlem, Farley and Zimet (1988) Psychological Maladjustment Questionnaire (PAQ) by Rohner (2005) were used. Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Hierarchical Regression Analysis and Moderation Analysis through PROCESS Macro were performed. Results showed that there is a significant positive relationship in rejection sensitivity and perceived social support with subscales i.e., family and friends. Perceived social support was found to be significantly negatively related to psychological maladjustment subscale i.e., negative self-esteem. Perceived social support subscale i.e., family and friends were significant negative predictors of psychological maladjustment subscale i.e., negative self-esteem. Moreover, perceived social support subscale i.e., significant others was found to be a negative predictor of psychological maladjustment subscale i.e., negative self-esteem and negative worldview. While demographic variable age at time of marriage in moderation analysis was found to be a significant negative predictor of psychological maladjustment along with its subscales negative self-esteem and emotional instability. Results also found that the interaction between rejection sensitivity and perceived social support subscales i.e., family, friends and significant others was non-significant in arranged married and choice married men and women. It is suggested that in future more in depth research should be done to disclose the predictors of psychological maladjustment. | en_US |
