Personality Profiles Emotional Maturity and Parental Acceptance Rejection of children of Working and Non working Mothers

Abstract

A mother is important not because she has special skills but because she is with her children for a much greater time than any other person and she reflect a very strong influence on attitudes, abilities and behaviour of children. It has been found that most of the children who are successful and well-adjusted come from those homes where parental attitude are favorable and a wholesome relationship existed between children and parents (Priyanka and Devina, 2010). Mothers give her children love, affection and care since from birth. Child care has become a major issue in most of the countries of the world. It is universally accepted that children require the love of mother the most. newlineSome studies have been conducted on academic achievement, achievement motivation, stress, personality adjustment, aggression, socialization, social maturity, self-concept, cognitive development, stress etc. of children of working and non-working mothers. Therefore, these studies highlight the research gap in the area of children of working and non-working mothers and signify the need of the study to be taken in relation to variables which have been selected for the proposed study. As little is known about the personality profiles, emotional maturity and parental acceptance/rejection of children of working and non-working mothers till date and no study has been conducted in this regard in Kashmir. Thus it is hoped that this study may contribute to the literature on personality profiles, emotional maturity and parental acceptance/rejection of children of working and non-working mothers. newline
