Abstract :

 Family plays an important role in the all–round development of children. The three types of parental attitudes reported in literature are acceptance, concentration and avoidance (Roe, 1957). The formation of attitude plays a very significant role in the developmental process of individuals. The present study was conducted to know the “perceptions of college going students about their parental attitudes”. The samples were 50 first year degree students (25 boys and 25 girls) who were selected randomly from two degree colleges in Tirupathi town. Family Relation Inventory ( Shersy and Sinha 2011) was used to collect the data. Results revealed that family variables play a significant role in perceived parental attitude of college going students. In areas of parental attitude majority of (58 percent) girls perceived more parental acceptance. Whereas majority boys (52 percent) scored more on avoidance which showed their negative perception of parental attitude. The results help to provide counseling to parents and students to improve parent child relationship.
