as Perceived by Adolescents in Light of Some Variables
Ahmad Smadi, Department of Psychological Counseling, Umm Al
Qura University, Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
Hadeel Alttaani, MOE, Amman, Jordan.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine patterns of
parental abuse as perceived by adolescents and their psychological
adjustment, and to examine the effects of several variables
(adolescent's gender, his/here age, family level of education, and
family per capita). As well as, to determine the relationship between
parental abuse of psychological adjustment among a sample of Irbid
Educational Directorate students. The sample of the study consisted of
(575) male and female students chosen through multi-stages cluster
sampling. To achieve the goal of this study, the researchers
administrated patterns of parental abuse scale and psychological
adjustment scale after validity and reliability of both scales were
ensured. The findings of the study showed that the total degree of the
patterns of parental abuse scale in its (father and mother) forms were
low. And the total degree of the psychological adjustment scale was
high. Moreover, findings showed that the lower age group of
adolescents had psychological adjustment in all domains more than
older age group. The emotional adjustment among males is higher
than females while the social and family adjustment among females
was higher than males. The findings indicated that males faced abuse
by their mothers and fathers in all domains higher than females,
Mothers less than their older counterparts abuse adolescents with
lower ages verbally. Furthermore, the findings showed a significant
negative correlation coefficient between the pattern of parental abuse
and the levels of psychological adjustment among adolescents.
Several recommendations were suggested. (Keywords: Parental
Abuse, Adolescents, Psychological Adjustment).
