Like Parent, Like Child? Exploring the Longitudinal Effect Between Personality Similarity and the Quality of Parenting
(2024) PSYP01 20241Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- Personality similarity-hypothesis has not been put to the test with longitudinal wave-data before. This study investigates the temporal aspects of personality similarity and its implications for parenting qualities. I aim to explore if an individual's personality similarity with their parents at an earlier time point can predict higher levels of child well-being, attachment style, and relationship quality with parents at a later time point. Data was collected from children, mothers, and fathers, with instruments including: FFPI, HiPIC, PPQ, NRI-RQV, ECR-S, PANAS, and SWLS. Random-Intercept Cross Lagged Panel Model showed that there was no effect between personality similarity and parental quality. However, both variables showed stability... (More)

Data was collected from children, mothers, and fathers, with instruments including: FFPI, HiPIC, PPQ, NRI-RQV, ECR-S, PANAS, and SWLS. Random-Intercept Cross Lagged Panel Model showed that there was no effect between personality similarity and parental quality. However, both variables showed stability throughout the nine year span. Partial Correlations indicated no personality similarity influence apart from child-father dyads on avoidant attachment style and life satisfaction. Future research should take into account other personality similarity conversions and the potential redundancy of using personality similarity. Understanding the stability of personality traits and their impacts on parenting aids in developing interventions that adapt parenting styles to children's inherent traits rather than attempting to modify these traits.
