Abstract
Self-report questionnaires are used here to measure adolescents' percep tion of their parents along the dimensions of warmth and control and their perception of self. The sample consists of 208 Puerto Rican youths ranging in age from thirteen to nineteen years. As predicted from parental ac ceptance-rejection theory, results show a significant correlation between perceived parental warmth and reported self-esteem and self-adequacy. Contrary to expectations, the data do not support the hypothesized cur vilinear relation between perceived parental control and reported self-ade quacy. The joint effects of perceived parental warmth and perceived parental control turn out to be a better predictor of self-adequacy than either perceived parental warmth or perceived parental control alone.
