In addition, theDepression- Anxiety- Stress Scales-42(DASS-42) developed by Lovibond, and Lovibond (1995a) a version modified by, Lovibond, and Laube(2001)standardized in Arabic by,Moussawas used.The results indicated that males recalled their fathers' aggression and hostility and undifferentiated rejection more than females. In addition, perceivedpaternal rejection was found to be more influential than perceived maternal rejection. Moreover, the results indicated that there were low to moderate correlations between adults' currentfeelings of depression, anxiety, and stress with parental \maternal rejection.
