Relationship between Acceptance and Happiness among Adolescents and Young Adults

Abstract

Acceptance is the generally consistent and relationship-specific cognitive judgment that other people value and care about us, and that their concern is not contingent on our adopting particular beliefs or acting in a particular way. We anticipated that acceptance would reflect the quality of a bond and have an impact on how people perceive the relationship between emotional adjustment and social support. The OHQ contains items that are comparable to those in the OHI and are each given as a single statement that may be affirmed on a common six-point Likert scale.
