This study was an attempt to see the relationship between perceived mother's warmth (an important ingredient of maternal acceptance) and social support (an ingredient of quality of relationship). After literature review it was hypothesized that perceived mother's acceptance would be positively correlated with social support from mother. A sample of 200 students (100 male, 100 female), of ages 20-25 years was randomly sampled from educational institutions. The participants provided their consent and demographic information and filled following questionaries; (1) Perceived Maternal Warmth Sub-scale of Adult PAQR/CONTROL: Mother (Short form) (Rohner, 2004), (2) Quality of relationship inventory (QRI, Pierce, Sarason, Sarason, Solky-Butzel & Nagle, 1994). Statistical analysis reveals that perceived mother's warmth is positively correlated to social support with mother. Avenues for future researches are also suggested.

Abstract
This study was an attempt to see the relationship between perceived mother's warmth (an important ingredient of maternal acceptance) and social support (an ingredient of quality of relationship). After literature review it was hypothesized that perceived mother's acceptance would be positively correlated with social support from mother. A sample of 200 students (100 male, 100 female), of ages 20-25 years was randomly sampled from educational institutions. The participants provided their consent and demographic information and filled following questionaries; (1) Perceived Maternal Warmth Sub-scale of Adult PAQR/CONTROL: Mother (Short form) (Rohner, 2004), (2) Quality of relationship inventory (QRI, Pierce, Sarason, Sarason, Solky-Butzel & Nagle, 1994). Statistical analysis reveals that perceived mother's warmth is positively correlated to social support with mother. Avenues for future researches are also suggested.
