Abstract
How do parent-child relations affect a child’s well being? This study examined levels of parental closeness, self-esteem, and life satisfaction in undergraduates attending a mid-sized, private university in the western US. Results showed that parental closeness plays a greater role in a student’s life satisfaction than their self esteem levels.
