Abstract
The present research aimed to check the impact of helicopter parenting on social competence and the chain mediating effect of insecure peer attachment and self-efficacy among adults. A cross-sectional research design was utilized. The sample of the study was selected through the convenient sampling technique from different universities, educational institutions and acquaintances that comprised of 350 adults aged 20 to 31 years. The chosen participants must have proper education and can understand the English language easily. Students were selected for study utilizing the Helicopter parenting scale (LeMoyne & Buchanan, 2011), The interpersonal competence questionnaire (Coroiu et al., 2015), the General Self-efficacy scale (Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995), and the Inventory of parent and peer attachment (Armsden & Greenberg (1987). The results showed that addressing the negative consequences of helicopter parenting requires encouraging parents to allow more autonomy, supporting young adults in developing secure peer relationships, and bolstering their self-efficacy.
