【 摘 要 】

The parental acceptance-rejection perceived by 9 to 14-year-old children was investigated taking into consideration the parents’ characteristics such as age, sex, family type and level of parental education. A non-probabilistic multistage population was selected from 15 educational institutes in Cuenca-Ecuador. Participants were 863 children, 431 male, and 432 female, and the average age was 10.67 years (DT=0.707). The Parental Acceptance-Rejection/Control Questionnaire-Short Form (PARQ/Control-SF), with 24 items, was used to assess parents’ behavior with their child about perceived warmth / affection, hostility / aggression, indifference / neglect, and undifferentiated rejection. Results showed that children perceived their parents as highly affective with an above average score, showing a slightly higher score for the mothers. Although participants perceived a similar tendency of parental affection and rejection, differences in the recognized parental attitude of indifference in general, aggression, and rejection were related to parents’ age, level of instruction and family type.
