For statistical analysis, IndependentGroups T Test, the Pearson Product-Moments Correlation Analysis, Multiple Hierarchical Regression Analysis were used.According to the results of the study, it was seen that the negative orientation to the problem, democratic, protective andauthoritarian parental attitude mean scores were significantly different by gender. Significant correlations were found betweenthe total scores from the Social Problem-solving Inventory and the predictive variables Parental Attitude Scale sub-dimensionsand the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory sub-dimensions. Democratic parental attitude, authoritarian parental attitude, cognitiveflexibility sub-dimensions which are alternatives and control are significant predictors of social problem-solving total score.Independent variables explain 46% of the total variance related to social problem-solving inventory total score.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle10049248728529
