This descriptive study investigated the influence of parental disputes on the educational accomplishment of their offspring, with a specific emphasis on three primary dimensions: academic performance, study motivation, and attitudes toward education. The data obtained from Ghazi University DG Khan (N= 391) students indicates a significant degree of variability in the views held by these individuals. The data reveals that a substantial proportion of participants agree that disputes between parents have a negative impact on their scholastic accomplishments, as shown by an average rating of 2.52 on a five-point Likert scale Moreover, students have reported that they experience a decrease in motivation (mean= 2.59) and develop a negative attitude towards their academic pursuits (mean= 2.82) due to disputes within their parental relationships. The statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) provides further evidence to support the existence of these variations, demonstrating that there are highly significant differences between groups about all features (p<0.005). The results above underscore the need to provide assistance and implement interventions to effectively mitigate the repercussions of family disagreements on adolescents' educational outcomes and facilitate academic achievement. The study concluded that students' perceptions of parental disputes are closely related to their emotional and psychological well-being, which directly impacts their academic performance. These perceptions, combined with the frequency and intensity of parental conflict, create an environment that can either deter or encourage resilience in children.
To investigate the influence of parental disputes on the educational accomplishment of students, specifically focusing on academic performance, study motivation, and attitudes toward education.
Descriptive quantitative study using a random sample of 391 students (260 male, 131 female) from Ghazi University, D.G. Khan. Data was collected and analyzed using statistical methods including Chi-square, Gamma, and ANOVA.

Parental conflicts create emotional distress, disrupt family dynamics, devalue education in the eyes of students, lead to social consequences, and have long-term detrimental effects on academic and career prospects. The study highlights the need for interventions to mitigate these negative impacts.
- A significant proportion of students agree that parental disputes negatively impact their academic performance (mean=2.52 on a five-point Likert scale).
- Students reported decreased motivation (mean=2.59) and developed negative attitudes towards academics (mean=2.82) due to parental disputes.
- ANOVA results showed highly significant differences between groups regarding the impact of parental disputes on academic performance, motivation, and attitudes (p<0.005).
- Hypothesis-1 (More parent's conflicts; less academic achievement) was statistically accepted.
- Hypothesis-2 (More parent's conflicts; less motivation to study) was statistically accepted.
- Hypothesis-3 (More parent's conflicts; more negative attitude towards study) was statistically accepted.
Parental disputes are closely related to students' emotional and psychological well-being, which directly impacts their academic performance. The frequency and intensity of parental conflict create an environment that can either deter or encourage resilience in children. Educational institutions, counselors, and policymakers should prioritize support programs and interventions.
- Sample size: 391 students were randomly selected from Ghazi University.
- Impact on motivation: Students reported a decrease in motivation with a mean score of 2.59 on a five-point Likert scale.
- ANOVA significance: F-statistics for academic accomplishments, motivation, and attitude were all less than 0.001, indicating highly significant variations.
