A child needs a physical, social, and emotional environment immediately after his birth. He is an active or inactive member of many groups and plays a complicated role in all of them. Family relationships are always responsible for shaping an individual's well-being for better and worse throughout life (Merz, Consedine, Schulze, & Schuengel, 2009). The present study is devoted to explore and describe the acceptance-rejection by parents in relation to the adjustment of adolescents. For this purpose, a descriptive cum exploratory research design has been adopted in the present investigation. A sample of 100 students (50 boys + 50 girls) of class XIth and XIIth from a CBSE school of Haryana state was collected for the study. The data was collected with the help of the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) and Indian adaptation of Bell's Adjustment Inventory. The present study revealed that parental acceptance and rejection play an important role in the behavior of a child. Achild getting accepted by his or her parents is more likely to be confident, as compared to a child who is getting rejection and facing negligence from his or her parents. The basic concern of the study is to investigate the parental acceptance-rejection of adolescents in relation to their adjustment, academic stress and self-concept level. If psychologists need to design the most appropriate interventions and developmental activities, they must know the concerns and needs of the population they serveKeywords
