This study aimed to explore the relationships between parental conflict, self-confidence, and
attitudes towards marriage among young adults at Makerere University. A total of 100
participants were included in the study. The data was collected through questionnaires and
analyzed using correlational techniques. The findings revealed that there was a statistically
significant linear relationship between parental conflict and self-confidence (0.045>0.01),
self-confidence and attitudes towards marriage (0.003>0.01), as well as there was no
significant relationship between parental conflicts and attitudes towards marriage
(0.260>0.05). These results suggest that the interactions between these variables are complex
and influenced by various factors. The study recommends the implementation of health and
counseling services, awareness campaigns, and collaborations with external organizations to
address the challenges faced by students. Future research could expand the scope of the study
to multiple universities and employ longitudinal designs to better understand the dynamics of
these behaviors over time
