S1Ep7 (Chu & Ho, 2026, February 23) is a commentary on Ho & Chu’s (S1Ep5; 2025, November 3) video presentation entitled “The Problem of Parental Coldness.” Specifically, we address the significance of non-parental figures in child development, explains in details the concept and definition of Defensive Independence that is associated with severe Parental Rejection experienced in childhood (Rohner, 2021), and touches on the possible impacts of mixed parenting styles, and how parental acceptance-rejection influences vocational personality development, particularly creativity and job choices.
