Abstract
Summary Relation between adolescent and parental personality structure The present study aims to investigate the relations between the personality structure of mentally healthy adolescents and the personality structure of their mentally healthy mothers and fathers. Of further interest seems to be the extent to which gender-specific differences exist regarding these relations. A total of 94 adolescents (Mage = 16.9 ± 2.1), 89 mothers (Mage = 49.0 ± 5.8), and 49 fathers (Mage = 50.7 ± 4.9) participated in the study. The personality structure was measured by means of the self-assessment instruments OPD-CA2-SQ or OPD-SQS. Weak to moderate, positive relations between the overall personality structure and structural dimensions of adolescents and the overall personality structure and structural dimensions of their mothers could be shown. These were also to be found in the analyses of gender-specific relations. However, the shown relations did not reach statistical significance under Bonferroni-Holm adjustment. Relations between the paternal overall personality structure or structural dimensions and the overall personality structure and structural dimensions of adolescents were unable to be shown neither regarding the adolescent overall sample nor in the gender-specific analyses.
