Introduction: With the advancement in society, women have taken up major responsibilities, not just personally but also professionally. The burden of responsibilities brings a lot of stress, some may manage it, but some may become vulnerable to develop various psychological issues like depression, anxiety, etc. The effect of those vulnerabilities can be seen in their personal lives which can affect their children. Aim: The study focused on assessing the impact of Mothers__ampersandsignrsquo; attitude towards self that suggests cognitive vulnerabilities towards depression, on their child__ampersandsignrsquo;s Social Competence. Methodology: The study was carried out on 200 Mothers (working and homemakers) in the age range of 30-50 years and their children with age range 13-18 years. Mothers__ampersandsignrsquo; attitude was measured using the Attitude Towards Self scale and the child__ampersandsignrsquo;s Social Competence was measured using the Social Competence Scale. Results: There was a significant difference at p__ampersandsignle;.01 in the dimensions of Mothers__ampersandsignrsquo; Attitude towards Self, namely High Standards (t=__ampersandsignplusmn;15.626), Self-Criticism (t=__ampersandsignplusmn;8.369) and Generalization (t=__ampersandsignplusmn;11.203), and Social Competence of their children__ampersandsignrsquo;s between working mothers and homemakers (t=__ampersandsignplusmn;20.442), where the homemakers and their children were higher on every aspect. The Social Competence between boys and girls (t=__ampersandsignplusmn;2.008) was also significant at p__ampersandsignle;.05, where girls showed higher Social Competence as compared to boys which were calculated using an independent t-test. The relationship between Mothers__ampersandsignrsquo; negative attitude towards self and their children__ampersandsignrsquo;s social competence, evaluated using Pearson__ampersandsignrsquo;s r correlation, were moderately significant at p=.01, however was inversely proportional with a significant impact on the child__ampersandsignrsquo;s social competence showing 49% of the variance, analyzed using regression. Conclusion: Therefore, the attitude of working or homemaker mothers significantly affects the child__ampersandsignrsquo;s development.
