Abstract
This study explored relations between perceived partner acceptance and adults' psychological adjustment, as possibly mediated by remembered paternal and maternal acceptance in childhood. The sample was composed of 488 undergraduate and graduate students. Based on data from four self-report questionnaires, results of simple correlations showed that perceived partner acceptance, as well as remembrances of both maternal and paternal acceptance in childhood, was significantly associated with adults' (both men's and women's) psychological adjustment. In addition, simple multiple regression results showed that remembrances of paternal (but not maternal) acceptance in participants' childhoods partially mediated the relation between perceived partner acceptance and women's (but not men's) psychological adjustment.
