Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to find out the impact of Parental AcceptanceRejection on Children’s Altruistic Behavior. A total of 200 students were selected purposefully from the urban and rural areas of different schools as participants. Two scales were administered here such as Measurement of Helping Behavior (MHB) Bangla version Enam (1992) was used to measure altruistic behavior of students, and Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ-Mother & Father), short form of child Bangla version Uddin (2011) was used to measure student’s parental acceptancerejection. The obtained data were analyzed by Mean, SD, correlation and stepwise multiple regressions, etc. Results indicated that PARQ Mother and Father both significantly related to altruistic behavior, i.e. parental acceptance-rejection affected students’ altruism behavior. The results showed that PARQ Mother and PARQ Father was the predictor of Altruistic Behavior. Results further indicated that there was a significant difference in altruistic behavior according to gender.
