Abstract
Exposure to interparental conflict makes young adults more vulnerable to developing social
anxiety and having reduced psychological wellbeing. The aim of the current research was to
explore the impact of interparental conflict on social anxiety and psychological wellbeing among
emerging adults. 150 participants (75-males, 75-females) from across Pakistan filled out the
questionnaire. The participants were between the age ranges of 18-25. A correlational study
design was used in this research. The data was collected online as well as in person. The
participants completed measures of Children’s Perception of Interparental Conflict (CPIC),
Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) and Psychological Wellbeing Scale (PWB) presented by
Carol Ryff. The results of this research suggest that interparental conflict has a significant impact
on the social anxiety and psychological wellbeing of young adults. Young adults show a marked
increase in social anxiety when exposed to interparental conflict.
