摘要：Background: Parental behaviours and personalities leave a very significant impact on every individual's life, including the development of the sense of self that begins in middle childhood. A healthy and highly functional family environment leads to a higher sense of self-esteem which leads to a psychologically healthy life in the future. The purpose of the current study was to determine the role of parents' forgiveness and coping styles as predictors of children's self- esteem. Methods: From a school in the urban location of Bangalore, India, 100 children (47 boys and 53 girls), between the ages of 8 to 12 years, and their parents (100 mothers and 100 fathers) volunteered to participate in the study (n=300). Responses to the questionnaires were recorded and Pearson's product moment correlation and regression analysis was used to study the significance of the correlation and the impact. Results: The analysis of responses revealed that mothers' forgiveness and coping styles were found to have a significant correlation and impact on the self-esteem of children (p < .05). No significant correlation or impact was found of fathers' forgiveness and coping styles on the self- esteem of children.Conclusion: The study throws light on the importance of parent-child relationships and also focuses on the need for continued research on father-child relationships specifically.
