Abstrakt

Longitudinal influences on the relationships between parents and their adolescent children in 175 Austrian families were analysed with data from three measurement points over a time span of 18 years. We investigated the influences of parental personality, marital conflict and adolescents' personality on the father-child and mother-child relationships separately. Inconsistent with previous theories and empirical findings, we found almost no associations between parental personality and parent-child relationships. Marital conflict was associated with only the father-child relationship. Children's personality showed the most consistent associations with the parent-child relationship. Our data support the theory of dynamic interactionism, which postulates an interdependency of personality factors and social relationships.
