Article Description

This study investigated whether students who had high perceived parental bonding and low fear of intimacy would have a more positive level of psychological well-being. Additionally, the study sought to determine any differences between a single parent household and a two parent household. The sample consisted of 93 female undergraduate students in University in London, Ontario. An independent t-test revealed there was no significant differences in bonding between a single parent household and a two parent household. A multiple regression analysis revealed that perceived parental bonding and fear of intimacy were significant predictors of psychological well-being. A significant positive correlation was found between parental bonding and psychological well-being. Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was found between parental bonding and fear of intimacy. Additionally, a significant negative correlation was found between fear of intimacy and psychological well-being. These findings suggest that parental bonding and fear of intimacy are foundational for an individual’s psychological well-being as an adult.
