Abstract: Purpose of the study: An attempt has been done to assess the impact of parent-child attachment on mental health among early young adults. The study was carried out on 102 participants (22 men and 80 women) comprising of ages in 18-25 years. Tools/Techniques: This study used the SSDP questionnaire to measure attachment to parents and the MHQoL-7D to assess mental health across seven dimensions. Apart from this, product moment correlation and students’ t test have been used as statistical techniques in the analysis of the study. Findings: i) Found no significant differences in attitude among the respondents on mental health based on gender, social class and socio-economic status with little variation of mean scores. However, a moderate but significant positive correlation (r = 0.41, p = 0.18) was observed between parent-child attachment and mental health. Comments: A positive association exists between parent-child attachment and mental health among the early young adults. This means that parent-child attachment has positive impact on mental health and vice-versa.
