I don't know why everyone is sending links. For anyone just recently having this problem press the maintain aspect raitio button in the tool bar for transform. It looks like a link chain between, width and height.

Again:

that's a preference with PhotoShop.

There is now a setting under Preferences > General to bring back The SHIFT KEY Proportional Scale and Transform option. You can go to Edit > Preferences > General and put a checkmark on the "Use Legacy Free Transform" box. That's it.
