Abstract
A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the relationship between
Perceived Parental Efficacy, Emotional Regulation, Rule Breaking Behavior and Social
Isolation in Adolescents Boys. Total 315 adolescent boys were chosen via stratified
random sampling. They were given Demographic Sheets, Perceived Parental Efficacy
Scale (Fatima & Jabeen, 2017), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Khan & Kausar,
2014), Rule Breaking Behaviors in Adolescent Boys (Naeem & Mahmood, 2014) and
Social isolation (factor of School Children’s Problem Scale) (Saleem & Mahmood,
2011). The Correlational Analysis showed that the Awareness and Freedom of Choice
has a significant positive relationship with all factors of Rule Breaking Behavior and
Social Isolation. Cognitive Reappraisal showed a negative significant correlation with
rule breaking behavior and social isolation. However, Rule Breaking Behavior showed a
positive significant correlation with Social Isolation. Multiple Regression Analysis
showed that Freedom of Choice and Offensive Rule Breaking serve as negative
significant predictors of Social Isolation whereas Rules Breaking in Groups serve as a
positive significant predictor of Social Isolation. Result showed that boys from private
schools were likely to be involved in offensive rule breaking and in-group violence than
boys in government schools. Findings of the study helped us to highlight the cultural
differences and relationships of how ones perceived parental efficacy may lead one to
form relationships.
