"I Felt Loved": Undergraduate Perceptions of Their Parents
Chang, Joyce; Florimonte, Mariella; Hilliard, Taylor; Knox, David
College Student Journal, v55 n4 p367-370 Dec 2021
Two-hundred and forty undergraduates at a mid-size southeastern university completed a 53-item survey, basically a "report card" on their evaluation of their parents and the parenting they experienced while growing up. Analysis of the data revealed that most were satisfied with the parenting they received from their parents and felt loved by their mothers and fathers. Exceptions included that sexual minority students reported significantly lower levels of love/support from their parents and were less satisfied with their parenting. While mothers received overall higher evaluations, fathers had more open communication with sons than daughters. The structure-function theoretical framework was used to interpret the findings.
