ABSTRACT

The present study investigated the relationship between perceived parenting styles and personality traits in young adults in India using correlational analysis. The data from 102 participants showed that authoritative parenting was positively correlated with agreeableness, extraversion, and conscientiousness. Authoritarian parenting was positively correlated with neuroticism and negatively correlated with extraversion, while permissive parenting did not show significant correlations with any personality factors. Additionally, authoritarian parenting was a significant positive predictor of neuroticism and a negative predictor of extraversion, while authoritative parenting was a significant positive predictor of agreeableness and conscientiousness. The study highlights the importance of parenting styles in shaping personality development and supports the need for further research in the Indian context to understand this relationship in a broader socio-cultural context. These findings can be useful for parents, educators, and mental health professionals in promoting healthy personality development.
