Abstract

This study of 119 universities students examines connections between parent-child and peers relationships. In order to assess relationship closeness with parents and friend and parenting peculiarities in childhood students completed two instruments: The Relationship Closeness Inventory (Berscheid, Snyder, Omoto, 1989) and The Perceived Parenting Questionnaire (MacDonald, 1971). The results of the present study contributes to question whether parent-child and peers relationships are the same social systems or different. The results show enough strong connections between parent-child and peers relationship closeness. Also closer relationships between peers are related with stricter parenting in childhood involving physical, affective punishment, achievement pressure and deprivation of privileges.
