This study examined associations among self‐esteem and self‐efficacy; perceived unfavorable Parental Rearing Style (perceived PRS) and unfavorable family climate in the family of origin; and depression in undergraduates still in frequent contact with their families ( N = 186). Unfavorable perceived PRS and family climate were construed as “affectionless control,” in which parents and family provide little affection, but excessive control. Constructs were measured by the Self‐Esteem Inventory, the Self‐Efficacy Scale, the Child Report of Parental Behavior Inventory, the Family Environment Scale, and the Beck Inventory. Perceived “affectionless control” in both PRS and family climate accounted for about 13% of the variance in self‐esteem, self‐efficacy, and depression. Neither introversion nor depression mediated the relation between family socialization and self‐esteem.
