This study aimed to find out the parent-child relationship and personal attributes in relation to the academic performance of college freshmen students in Jose Rizal Memorial State University System, Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines for the second semester of SY 2012-2013. The descriptive-correlational method of research was used in the study with the aid of standardized questionnaires on parent-child relationship and self-concept. There were 358 respondents involved in the study. The study revealed that the respondents have moderate parent-child relationship in the dimensions like protecting, demanding, symbolic reward, and loving. On the other hand, they have a high parent-child relationship on symbolic punishment, rejection, object punishment, indifference, object reward and neglecting. The respondents have above average level of personal attributes. The respondents generally have good academic performance. With regard to the relationship between parent-child relationship and academic performance, it is only significant in the following dimensions: symbolic punishment, object punishment, demanding, symbolic reward, loving, object reward, and neglecting. The relationship between personal attributes and academic performance is only significant on temperamental and intellectual dimensions as well as on the combined personal attributes. The study does not imply that positive or negative perceptions towards parent-child relationship and clear or confusing personal attributes strongly entail good academic performance.
