dc.description.abstractThe current research study aims to discover the relationship between parent-child communications, self-harm behavior, and externalizing problems in left-behind children of immigrants aged 12-18. Data were collected using correlational methodology having boys (n=92) and girls (n=105). The parent-adolescent communication scale ([PACS]; Olson, 1985), self-injurious behavior scale ([SIBS]; Saleem & Saleem, 2017), and Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach, 2001 translated by Syed, 2001) were measuring tools used for data collection. Pearson product-moment correlation was used to check the relationship between parent-child communication, self-harm behavior, and externalizing problems in left-behind children of immigrants, and regression analysis was conducted to determine the significant predictors of externalizing problems. Moreover, the independent sample t-test was used to determine gender and family system differences and ANOVA was conducted to explore the class differences. The findings revealed that parent-adolescent communication is significantly negatively associated with self-harm behavior and externalizing problems. While self-harm behaviors are significantly positively associated with externalizing problems. Furthermore, self-injurious behavior and the mother’s education were significant predictors of externalizing problems.
