Abstract
This cross-sectional study addressed the question of how peer rejection sensitivity may contribute to the relationship between teacher rejection sensitivity and psychological maladjustment among adolescents. Data were collected through Urdu version of Children Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire (CRSQ; Shujja et al., 2017) and Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ; Naz & Kausar, 2013) from the conveniently drawn sample including boys (n =140) and girls (n = 160) of 14-18 years. Moderation analysis was carried out and results revealed that peers’ angry reaction to ambiguously intentioned rejection positively moderated the relationship between teachers’ angry reaction to ambiguously intentioned rejection and psychological maladjustment. It means that that the nature of relationship between teachers’ angry reaction to ambiguously intentioned rejection and psychological maladjustment becomes positive when peers’ angry reaction to ambiguously intentioned rejection is low. Partially inconsistent with the existing literature, girls were high on peer and teacher rejection sensitivity but low on psychological maladjustment compared to boys. Findings were discussed within indigenous perspective.
