The data were collected from 572 participants (365 females and 207 males) whose ages varied between 17 and 64 (M = 23.88, SD = 5.08), they completed Demographic Information Form, The Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory, Integrated Self-Discrepancy Index, Defense Style Questionaire, Trait Shame and Guilt Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Trait form of Trait-State Anxiety Inventory, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. In order to figure out the paths among perceived parental relationships, self-discrepancy, specific types of defense styles, self-conscious emotions, and psychological well-being, three sets of hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted. Overall, the results revealed that the use of specific types of defense styles were significantly associated with perceived parental relationship and different types of self-discrepancies. Also, self-conscious emotions had significant associations with perceived parental relationship, self-discrepancy, and defenses styles. Lastly, perceived parental relationship, self-discrepancy, defense styles, and self-conscious emotions were significantly associated with depressive symptomatology, trait anxiety, and life satisfaction.
