The parent-child relationship is an important factor in human development, influencing various aspects life, including emotional well-being and self-perception. This correlational study aims to investigate the association between parent-adult child relationship and feelings of defeat in life. Defeatedness was measured using the Defeat Scale, which assesses individuals' feelings of being overwhelmed, hopeless, and trapped by life circumstances. Parent-child relationship was determined using the Parent Adult Child Relationship Questionnaire, which assesses responsibility, attachment, and other factors for both parents. A quantitative research approach was used in collecting data from a diverse sample of adults (N = 110) through self-report measures assessing the perceived quality of parent-child relationships and levels of defeat in life. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were used to examine the strength and direction of the relationship between these variables, while controlling for relevant demographic factors. The study found a significant negative correlation between the Parent-Child Adult Relationship Scale and The Defeat Scale (r = -.358, p < .001). This indicates that as the parent- child relationship improves, feelings of defeat in adults tend to decrease. Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between the Control scale and The Defeat Scale (r =.530, p < .001), suggesting that as the perception of control increases, feelings of defeat tend to decrease. A significant negative correlation was found between The Defeat Scale and Responsibility (r = -.272, p = .004), indicating that as feelings of responsibility increase, feelings of defeat tend to decrease. The results underscore the enduring impact of early familial dynamics on adult psychological well-being, highlighting the importance of fostering positive parent-child relationships for promoting resilience and emotional health across the lifespan.
