Abstract
The present research was aimed to investigate parental bonding and current thought processing in relation to physical or emotional abuse. It was hypothesized that a) There is likely to be a difference in parental bonding and negative automatic thoughts between abused and non abused adolescence; b) there is likely to be a significant difference in parental care and overprotection between abused and non-abused adolescence. The sample consisted of (n = 60) abused and (n = 60) non abused adolescence having age, school and class matched on both the groups. Parental Bonding Inventory (Parker, Tupling, & Brown, 1979), Childrens automatic Thought Scale Negative-Positive (Hogendoorn, Wolters, Vervoort, Prins, Boer, Kooij, & Haan, 2010) and Child Trauma Questionnaire (Bernstein & Fink, 1997) were administered to each participant. The results indicated that there was a poor parental bonding (less parental overprotection and more parental control and negative automatic thoughts in abused than non-abused adolescence. The findings of this research will be helpful for the clinicians, community workers and NGOs who are working to intervene the young victims from potentially devastating effects of child abused by challenging the negative automatic thoughts as a result of inappropriate child rearing practices which include more parental overprotection and less parental warmth.
