Abstract
The current research was conducted to determine the relationship among Perceived Parental Disharmony, Resilience and emotional behavioral problem in adolescents. A cross sectional research design was used to collect the data. The sample comprised 300 adolescents (Boys, 50% and Girls 50%) with the age range of 11-18 (M=14.37, SD= 1.23). Three scales were used namely Perceived Parental Disharmony PPD (Saleem & Amjad, 2015) to measure the Perception of Disharmony of the adolescent. Resilience scale was used to measure the resilience in the school children. In order to measure emotional behavioral problem the School Children Problem (Saleem & Mahmood, 2012) used along with demographic Performa. The hierarchal regression analysis revealed that perceived parental disharmony, gender, mothers' education and class was found to be the positive predictor of emotional behavioral problems and resilience was the negative predictor.
