Abstract

The study explains the relationship between parents’ adolescent conflict, socio-emotional adjustment, and academic achievements. This study demonstrated the predictive moderating role of gender and its relationship with parents’ adolescent conflict, social-emotional adjustment, and academic achievement. A quantitative research and cross-sectional design were used, and data was collected from a sample size of (N=207) in Karak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa schools, Pakistan. A Questionnaire technique was used, and the SPSS 21 version was applied in the form of descriptive and inferential analysis. The study found that both mother and father adolescent conflict were significant negative predictors for social-emotional adjustment and academic achievements. The result indicates that father-adolescent conflict was a significant negative predictor of social-emotional adjustment, and it was also a significant negative predictor of academic achievements among adolescent students. The recommendation was put forward to the policymakers that clinical psychologists and counselors arrange awareness counseling strategies for the parent-adolescent conflict among parents and students. The student's social-emotional adjustment and academic achievement should be resolved, and these were the causes of conflict with their parents.
