dc.description.abstractThe current study aimed to explore the relationship between Memories of Upbringing, Schadenfreude, Moral Disengagement and Interpersonal Difficulties among University Students. A purposive sampling strategy was used to collect the data and (N=228) participants were recruited, aged 19–24 years (M= 21.27; SD= 1.39). Participants completed a set of measures including the translated version of Egna Minnen Betraffande Uppfostran-A (Arrindell et. al, 1999), Schadenfreude Scale (Crysel & Webster, 2018), Moral Disengagement Scale for Adults (Saif & Riaz, 2021) and Interpersonal Difficulties Scales for University Students ((Mahmood et al., 2014). Pearson Product-Moment Correlation revealed a significant negative relationship between parental rejection and interpersonal difficulties, a significant positive relationship between parental warmth and interpersonal difficulties, and a significant positive relationship between moral disengagement and interpersonal difficulties. Linear regression analysis indicated that moral disengagement emerged as a significant positive predictor of interpersonal difficulties. No significant group differences were identified in memories of upbringing, schadenfreude, moral disengagement and Interpersonal Difficulties. These findings highlight the complex role of early upbringing and moral processes in shaping social functioning, underscoring the importance of addressing maladaptive patterns in young adults through preventive and therapeutic interventions.
