Abstract
The concurrent correlates and developmental antecedents of personality types were investigated in a sample of 305 14–19-year-old Dutch adolescents. Concurrent characteristics and developmental antecedents included adjustment and parental control. We also examined whether parental control interacted with personality type in exaggerating differences among the types. The three main personality types (Resilients, Overcontrollers, and Undercontrollers) with behavioral and parenting correlates and antecedents were identified. We also found evidence for a moderator effect of restrictive control, particularly for Undercontrollers. Discussion highlights the importance of the family environment in understanding behavioral correlates of types.Copyright 2002 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents.
