consequently. For the purpose of this study, 444 adults (134 male, 308 female, and 2
unknown) between the ages of 17 and 35 (M = 21.60, SD = 2.77) participated in the
current study. The data was collected by a questionnaire battery including a
Demographic Variable Sheet, Mother and Father Forms of Parent Acceptance-
Rejection/Control Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, Trait Anxiety Inventory,
The Ways of Coping Inventory, and Basic Personality Traits Inventory. The three sets
of hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to reveal the significant
associates of psychological distress. As expected, the results of the current study
revealed that parental rejection, different personality traits and different coping
strategies had associated with psychological distress as depression and trait anxiety. Following findings and the relevant literature, the limitations, therapeutic
implications of the current study, and the suggestion for future research were
discussed.
