The aim of this study is to examine parental attitudes as predictors of subjective well-being of psychological counseling and guidance department students. The Psychological Well-being Scale and Child Raising Attitudes Scale were applied to 397 students (231 females and 166 males) studying at Ondokuz Mayıs University, Education Faculty, Psychological Counseling and Guidance Department. In the data analysis process, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) and hierarchical regression analysis were administered. According to one-way ANOVA test results, there was no statistically significant difference in mother acceptance/care (WelchF (1, 385.19) =. 05, p>. 05), mother control/monitoring (WelchF (1, 328.85) =. 46, p>. 05), and father control/monitoring (WelchF (1, 306.43) =. 01, p>. 05) scores in terms of gender. However, it was revealed that females’ parental acceptance/care assessments and subjective well-being levels were significantly higher than men’s. One-way ANOVA results conducted based on class level indicates that father control/monitoring scores did not differ across class levels (WelchF (3, 203.12) =. 25, p>. 05) while there were meaningful differences in the scores of mother acceptance/care (F (3, 393) = 2.79, p<. 05), mother control/monitoring (WelchF (3, 209) = 3.53, p<. 05), father acceptance/care (F (3, 197.22) = 3.55, p <. 05) and subjective well-being (WelchF (3, 195.71) = 4.55, p <. 01) in terms of class level. To the hierarchical regression analysis results, when the gender and class levels of the participants were determined, the mother acceptance/care and father acceptance/care scores meaningfully predicted subjective well-being. Thus, interventions to improve subjective well-being levels and to increase positive parental attitudes of individuals can be focused on.
