“…On the other hand, Hendey and Pascall (1998), as well as Hemm, Dagnan, and Meyer (2018), discuss how adults with intellectual disability are restricted regarding the activities they can do and the places they can go to, with safety being an important consideration for parents. Beart et al (2001) report on the limited range of opportunities for adults with intellectual disability in the United Kingdom, while Milner and Kelly (2009) explore how people with intellectual disability do not have many friends.…”

A study of overprotection in the lives of persons with intellectual disability in Malta was carried out on the principles of inclusive research. Focus groups were held with people with intellectual disability, parents of people with intellectual disability, and those working with persons with intellectual disability. Overprotection is a disabling barrier. Its effects were identified in employment, leisure time, intimate relationships, and the use of public transport, money, and mobile phones. People with intellectual disabil-ity who experience overprotection live very structured lives. They cannot develop their skills, abilities, and potential. Furthermore, they cannot live their life on their own terms, but on terms determined by others. This creates a sustained dependence on others, especially the family. It is important that a balance is achieved between protection and enabling support. Persons with intellectual disability should be given the support they need to express their wishes and act on them.Despite overt policies of 'rights' and an 'ordinary life' the trend of policy is thus for people with learning difficulties to lead lives of extraordinary regulation (Riddell, Baron, and Wilson 2001, 200)

“…Parental overprotection has been defined as protective behavior by parents that is excessive, considering the child's developmental level [8,9]. Parents with overprotective behavior are characterized by acting like a baby to their children for long periods of time, having excessive contact, being very controlling, having trouble separating from the child, not encouraging independent behavior, being overly controlling, as well as by excessive physical or social communication and excessive anxiety [10,11].…”

Introduction. The effect of parental attitudes and behaviors in raising their children on the individual’s life has been the subject of numerous studies for many years. There is a strong correlation between parental attitudes and the child’s ability to be satisfied with life. The objective of the research was to determine the relationships between perceived parental attitudes (overprotection, rejection, emotional warmth) and life satisfaction among university students. We investigated whether parental attitudes play a role in predicting life satisfaction among university students, and what role they play. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted from June 2020 to September 2020. Data were collected using Google Forms. Each person consented to anonymously participate in the study and was informed about the objectives of the study being a descriptive one. The population of the study consisted of nursing students enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences. For this purpose, 220 students at the age of 20 to 30 years participated in the study. The assessment battery consisted of Student Demographic Form, the Short-Egna Minnen Beträffande Uppfostran (Own Memories of Upbringing), and the Life Satisfaction Scale. Results. There was a significant negative correlation between maternal rejection and life satisfaction among the students. Male students were more likely to perceive their fathers as being disapproving than female students did. These findings were discussed in line with the studies in the related literature. Conclusions. High life satisfaction is a variable that protects young people from risk factors. Therefore, a focus should be placed on increasing life satisfaction among students. Parental attitude is an effective factor for life satisfaction among students. For this reason, it can be said that it would be beneficial to inform families about appropriate parental attitudes to increase their children’s life satisfaction.
