“…The present study shows that children in Ioannina generally feel accepted by their parents. This evidence corroborates results from prior research in Greece (Mylonas, Gari, Giotsa, Pavlopoulos, & Panagiotopoulou, 2006). Furthermore, results here indicate that both boys and girls are fairly well adjusted psychologically.…”

A sample of 168 children ages 7 through 12 years (M = 10.49 years) from Northern Greece (47.9% boys) was drawn to explore whether interpersonal power or prestige moderated relationships between paternal and/or maternal acceptances and children’s psychological adjustment. Child versions of the Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire (mother and father forms), the Personality Assessment Questionnaire, and the youth version of the Parental Power–Prestige Questionnaire were used. Both boys’ and girls’ psychological adjustment was significantly correlated with perceived paternal acceptance, but only girls’ adjustment was significantly correlated with maternal acceptance. In addition, girls’ perceptions of parental prestige were negatively correlated with paternal acceptance. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that boys’ adjustment was marginally predicted by their perception of paternal (but not maternal) acceptance, whereas girls’ adjustment was uniquely and significantly predicted by their perception of maternal (but not paternal) acceptance. Finally, parental prestige moderated the relationship between perceived maternal acceptance and both boys’ and girls’ psychological adjustment.

“…Among the key factors that make a family an integrated whole are the unique emotional bonds among the family members (McGoldrick, Giordano, & Pearce, 1996). Emotional bonds as expressed feelings by family members—with emphasis on parental love—are critical for the development of emotionally healthy children (Bengtson, 2001; Giotsa, 2007; Mylonas, Gari, Giotsa, Pavlopoulos, & Panagiotopoulou, 2006; Rohner, 1986; Rohner, Khaleque, & Cournoyer, 2012). In particular, whether children perceive themselves as accepted or rejected by their parents or other caregivers strongly predicts children’s psychological adjustment—be it smooth or problematic (Carrasco & Rohner, 2013; Khaleque & Rohner, 2012; Rohner, 1975; Rohner & Khaleque, 2005).…”

This article examines the psychometric properties of the Greek adaptation of Child Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ)-Short Form, Mother, and Father versions. Data on the 24-item long measure were collected from 534 preadolescents and adolescents of the municipality of Ioannina. Participants were asked to report their agreement or disagreement on a 4-point Likert-type scale, developed to tap in to four factors (subscales), namely, (a) perceived warmth/affection, (b) perceived hostility/aggression, (c) perceived indifference/neglect, and (d) perceived undifferentiated rejection. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted first, to explore if the structure of the four-factor model of Child PARQ is corroborated with the Greek sample. Additionally, the internal consistency * Both the authors have contributed equally to this paper.

“…As such, counseling has been embedded traditionally within the complex support system of social relationships (Lampropoulos & Stalikas, 2009). Although some aspects of urban family life in Greece have now shifted from collectivist to individualistic (Georgas, 1989; Mylonas, Gari, Giotsa, Pavlopoulos, & Panagiotopoulou, 2006), traditional Greek culture remains more collectivist than the individualistic tradition of most Western countries from which counseling developed as a specialty. It is not surprising that parents, brothers, and sisters, as well as close friends, are still the persons to whom Greeks turn to discuss their problems and seek solutions to those problems (Kalantzi‐Azizi & Malikiosi‐Loizos, 1994; Malikiosi‐Loizos, Christodoulidi, & Gialamas, 2010).…”

There is rapid growth in Greece's professional and research activity in counseling, despite the lack of a clear professional identity for the field. It is hoped this will be overcome through the newly started graduate programs. Opportunities, objectives, and strategies for counseling's advancement should be directed toward close and essential collaboration at a European and at an international level, which will blend elements of original and host cultures with academic knowledge and professional counseling experience.
