Abstract: 289 high school students and one of their parents (father or mother)were investigated by the Irrational Beliefs Scale(IBS) created according to the theory of Rational-Emotive Therapy. Four kinds of irrational beliefs are measured in the scale: overgeneralization, seeking for approval, demandingness towards oneself and demandingness towards others. The results indicated that the children's beliefs scores were correlated significantly with their parents'(r=0.2889, P<0.001). Further, no significant correlation was found between the fathers' scores and the sons', and significant correlation was only found between the fathers and the daughters on the total score, while the mothers' score on the belief of demandingness towards oneself correlated significantly with the sons', and significant correlations on the total score and scores on the beliefs of demandingness towards oneself and towards others were found between the mothers and the daughters. The parents' occupation and education level have no significant influence on the children's beliefs. The reasons and the impact ways of the parental influence were discussed.
