Abstract
Numerous studies have found that the perception of warmth or rejection from parents influences the socioemotional outcomes of children and adolescents. However, less has been known about the continued impact of parent-child relationships among emerging adult offspring. To this end, the present study aimed to examine whether and how current parental rejection predicts symptoms of anxiety and depression among Filipino emerging adults. Specifically, the mediating role of self-criticism and the moderating role of peer support were investigated. 217 emerging adults who lived with at least one parent figure in the Philippines were surveyed using relevant scales from the Child Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire, Levels of Self-Criticism Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and DASS-21. Path analysis was conducted to test the hypothesized moderated mediation model. Indirect effects of current parental rejection were found on mental health outcomes, but interaction effects between peer support and rejection were non-significant. That is, emerging adults who reported cold and harsh parental behavior were more self-critical and consequently had higher levels of anxious and depressive symptoms. The protective role of peer support against the detrimental effects of rejection was unfounded. These findings provide novel insights into the influence of parental treatment beyond adolescence and the salience of family relationships over other social support sources within a collectivist culture. Implications on culturally sensitive interventions include alleviating self-critical tendencies and supporting the quality of relationships between parents and their adult children.
