Parenting Tendencies Among Young Adults Introduction and Literature Review Neglected Childhood Experiences is an umbrella term, which covers many areas of abuse as well such as physical, emotional, mental, psychological,

sexual, verbal and non-verbal abuse. Factors Affecting the Consequences of Child Abuse and Neglect, Individual outcomes vary widely and are affected by a combination of factors, including: The child's age and developmental status when the abuse or neglect occurred. The type of maltreatment (physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, etc). The frequency, duration, and severity of the maltreatment. The relationship between the child and the perpetrator. (Wallace & Lee, 2013).Similarly parenting styles are of different types, such as there're strict, lenient, authoritative,negative, and over-cautious parents. Parents have a huge impact on a person's life. Number of studies in the area of parenting matches its importance on the developing person. Parenting process combine all the activities of the parents that intended to support the children’s well being.One of the most studied approaches to understanding parental influences on human development is concept of parenting style (Baumrind, 1967). Parenting styles is related to various outcomes such as youth, psychopathology, behavior problems, and academic performance (Turner,Chandler & Heffer, 2009). Adolescents without secure parental styles predict psychopathology(Pascuzzo, Moss, & Cyr, 2015). So when we relate these wide spectrums with aggression, it gave a deep insight of adults which have tendencies of Body Dysmorphic Disorder.Body Dysmorphic Disorder is a type of disorder, any individual with BDD is overly preoccupied with what are perceived as gross imperfections in their appearance and spends an hour or more every day, thinking about the way they look. In reality the imperfections are imagined or only slight and barely noticed by others in case. The affected person with BDD maybe obsessed with certain body parts, particularly related to their face or head, or with weight or body shape. The symptoms of BDD often begin in the early teens or even childhood, this obsession, repetitive behavior, and constant covering up creates stress for the affected individuals and can have a negative impact on daily functioning and quality of life.It has been observed through different studies that people with BDD are highly prone to develop OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder). Another interesting factor is the Religiosity factor among such adults. How religion and religious norms effect their perception about themselves, and when they take steps to make improvements in their appearance at any point or stage of life, sometimes the religious factor play a vital role as a hinder in improving their imagined defects.In a study conducted on Casual Model of Perfectionism and Religious Beliefs, Role in Body Dysmorphic and Social Anxiety Disorders. Revealed that perfectionism had a significant positive impact on body dysmorphic disorder and social anxiety. Religious beliefs variable had a significant negative impact on the body dysmorphic disorder. (Esnaashari, Bakhshayesh &Afshani, 2014). Another research showed that BDD is relatively more frequent among general university students, compared to medical students with overall predominance of female gender.This was a questionnaire based pilot study, conducted at dermatology department of NawazSharif social security teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Lahore (Suhail, Salman& Salman, 2016).Another study conducted on the medical students enrolled in the medical university in Karachi, Pakistan filled out a self-report questionnaire, which assessed clinical feature of BDD,revealed that BDD is fairly common in our medical student population, with a higher prevalence in males. This study shows important gender differences with the previous studies in BDDsymptomatology, and reported body foci of concern were identified, which reflected theinfluence of media in body image perfection. (Taqui et al., 2008).An online survey investigated Canadian men’s perspectives on their appearance and theirattitudes towards cosmetic surgeries revealed that self-deprecation, self-confidence, and comfortwith one's body uniquely predict different aspects of men's experiences. Including attitudesabout body shape, perception of other, pressure to lose weight and perspectives regardingcosmetic surgeries. Participant who were less comfortable with their bodies and lower inconfidence put more pressure on themselves to lose weight. In addition, lower confidencesignificantly predicted willingness to undergo cosmetic surgery (Ricciardelli & Clow, 2009).
