Abstract The relationship between parent and their adolescents is the crucial and sensitive bond which affects the adolescents' life deeply. Behavioral inhibition is grasping the attention nowadays. This study aimed to measure the connections among parent and adolescents' relationship, behavioral inhibition and social emotional problems. In this regard, sample of 500 students including girls and boys from different colleges was taken. After observing the missing responses, data of 56 participants was excluded. Twin cities, Islamabad and Rawalpindi colleges were taken for the sample of 444 students in which boys (n=216) and girls (n=228) were included. Age range of adolescents were taken from 11 to 19 which was further divided into three categories (i.e. early adolescents (11-13 years), middle adolescents (14-16 years) and late adolescents 17-19 years) respectively. After taking consent from the reputed institutions and participants, valid and reliable questionnaires were given to gather required data. To gather the data regarding parent-adolescent relationship, Network of Relationships Inventory was used. Furthermore, to check behavioral inhibition and socio-emotional problems, Behavioral inhibition/Activation scale (only inhibition related items are taken) and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire are used accordingly. Many statistical analyses as descriptive analysis, bivariate correlation, t-test, ANOVA, regression were performed on the collected data and results supported the study variables. It revealed that parent-adolescent relationship is higher in late adolescents while behavioral inhibition and socio-emotional problems are higher in middle adolescents. Moreover, findings show that the differences in parent-adolescent relationship and behavioral inhibition are significantly higher in males as compare to females whereas socio-emotional problems tend to be higher in females. In the end, practical implications and limitations are also discussed for the future researches.
