The major objectives of the present study were (i) to separately assess the parent-child relationship (PCR) and Self-concept of the school-going adolescents and also (ii) to find out the impact of PCR on the development of their self-concept. For this purpose a sample of 100 [i.e., 50 each of boys and girls], was selected randomly from class IX of the two schools – Kalyani University Experimental High School & Kalyani Shikshayatan, under Kalyani Municipality in the District Nadia of the state West Bengal in India. The tools used were adapted and modified (in Bengali) forms of (i) Dr Nalini Rao’s Parent Child Relationship Scale and (ii) Dr Saraswat’s Self-concept Scale. The t-test and coefficient of correlation (r) were used for data analysis. The findings indicated that more loving and more demanding behaviour of parents facilitate the self-concept development of the children whereas, more neglecting and indifferent the parents are, more the children lack in development of a sound self-concept.
