Abstract

This study investigates the influence of parental bonding on psychological well-being and self-efficacy, based upon adolescent male and female responses. The research applies psychological theory and Islamic teachings to understand how familial relationships shape emotional health and individual competence. A quantitative method was used to collect data from 301 participants (162 males, 139 females) through standardized questionnaires, including the Parental Bonding Instrument (Parjer et al., 1979), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (Schwarzer, 2012), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff et al., 2010). Results showed the great impact of parental bonding specifically parental care on self-efficacy and
well-being, with more detail fathers care had a great impact on adolescents psychological well-being and self-efficacy but has a negative relation with fathers overprotection indicates fathers love and affection can greatly affect a adolescents development. However mother care also has a strong relation with self efficacy and psychological wellbeing.
Parent‘s overprotection can negatively impact adolescent‘s psychological well-being and self-efficacy because it can affect their confidence, their behavior as well as their mental health. Islamic teaching says that adolescents has right to choose their own paths parents should guide the rights and wrongs but does not impose there decision on them. Islamic
teachings on family structure, emotional nurturing, and parental roles provide a meaningful framework for interpreting these outcomes. The findings offer valuable insights for educators, mental health professionals, and religious leaders working to strengthen family relationships and youth development in Muslim communities.
