Abstract

Parental verbal aggression has long been assumed to be detrimental in terms of parent-child relationships. However, little is known about how it affects the relationship with psychological well-being, the more specific thought on maternal and paternal verbal aggression, and more acknowledgment regarding the implication of aggressive words as injurious to children. The critical goal of the study was to investigate whether participants reporting experiences on their maternal and paternal verbal aggression impact their psychological well-being. Data for the analysis were from the college students of PHINMA- University of Pangasinan (n = 219). A purposive sampling method was employed to select participants. Results showed that high psychological well-being is not significant, with both paternal and maternal verbal aggression jointly affecting it. However, maternal verbal aggression is independently associated with lower psychological well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
