Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of personality on parenting style in mothers of Greek adolescents aged 12-18. A total of 132 mothers were studied with the Parenting Style Four Factor Questionnaire (PS-FFQ), the Eysenk Personality Inventory (EPI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The results showed that mothers with higher level of neuroticism or lower level of psychoticism and extroversion tend to adopt authoritarian parenting style; mothers with lower level of extroversion, neuroticism, psychoticism, or trait anxiety tend to adopt authoritative parenting style; more extraverted or psychotic mothers more frequently adopt a permissive parenting style; mothers with higher level of neuroticism, tend to adopt an uninvolved parenting style.
