Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of parents' attitudes to life on social adjustment, resilience and subjective vitality of first grade high school students in the Merhamatabad area of Miandoab city in the academic year of 2020-2021. The research method was post-event. For this purpose, based on Krejcie and Morgan table, 200 students were selected from the multi-stage cluster sampling method. The parents of the students answered the Batista and Almond Attitudes to Life Questionnaire and the students themselves answered the Sinha and Singh Social Adjustment Questionnaire, the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire, and the Ryan and Frederick subjective Cheerfulness Questionnaire. Based on the scores obtained from the parents (average score of both parents) in the life attitude questionnaire, four groups (very high, high, low and very low life attitudes) were determined by the quarter method. Then their children's scores in each questionnaire were statistically analyzed. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. The findings showed that as life becomes more meaningful for parents (a more positive outlook on life), students' social adjustment and subjective vitality also increase. But attitudes toward parental life did not affect students' resilience.
