Rural accepted boys had significantly higher externalizing and internalizing problem behaviours than rural accepted girls, whereas no such difference was found among urban group. In both rural and urban areas accepted children were academically more competent than rejected children. Among rural group, father^ authoritative pattern significantly influenced the social skills whereas authoritarian pattern of fathers influenced selfcontrol and total social skills. However both authoritative and authoritarian pattern by fathers significantly and negatively influenced the internalizing problem behaviours.
