Loneliness is a significant public health issue that affects young adults. This investigation drew from interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory to understand how remembrances of parental rejection contributed to psychological maladjustment and loneliness in Bangladeshi college students (N = 300; 50% female). Students reported their remembrances of mothers' and fathers' acceptance-rejection, their current psychological maladjustment, and loneliness. Remembrances of rejection by parents in childhood were associated with psychological maladjustment (hostility/aggression, negative self-esteem, negative self-adequacy, emotional unresponsiveness, emotional instability, and negative worldview) for young adult men and women. Psychological maladjustment, in turn, was associated with feelings of loneliness in young adulthood for young men, but not women. Remembrances of parental rejection were also associated with greater hostility and aggression over and above general psychological functioning among both men and women. Findings are discussed in the context of different social and structural features of young adulthood for women and men in Bangladesh.
孤独是一个严重的公共卫生问题，影响着年轻人。本研究借鉴了人际关系的接纳-拒绝理论，以了解父母拒绝的记忆如何导致孟加拉国大学生的心理失调和孤独（N=300；女性占 50%）。学生们报告了他们对母亲和父亲的接纳-拒绝的记忆、他们当前的心理失调和孤独感。童年时期父母拒绝的记忆与年轻男性和女性的心理失调（敌意/攻击性、消极的自尊、消极的自我效能感、情感无反应、情绪不稳定和消极的世界观）有关。反过来，心理失调又与年轻男性在成年早期的孤独感有关，而与女性无关。父母拒绝的记忆也与男性和女性的一般心理功能相比，表现出更多的敌意和攻击性。研究结果在孟加拉国男女青年的不同社会和结构特征的背景下进行了讨论。
