The Effect of Children's Temperament & Parents' Personality on Parent - Child Interaction

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of children's temperament and parents' personality on affective and controlling parent-child interaction. The results of this study were as follows: 1. There were no significant differences in children's temperament and parent-child interaction according to children' sex. It implies that the child's sex is not important factor to perceive children's temperament and parent-child interaction. 2. The level of children's activity and response sensitivity, and father's compulsiveness were significant factors for predicting affective father-child relationship. Also, controlling father-child relationship was significantly influenced by father's personality of compulsiveness. 3. Mother's vulnerability, mother's introversion, and children's response sensitivity were significant factors for predicting affective mother-child relationship, Also, the controlling mother-child relationship was significantly effected by mother's vulnerability and compulsiveness, and children's adaptability. This research suggests that father-child interaction was more strongly associated with child's temperament than father's personality whereas mother-child interaction was predicted by mother's personality more than child's personality. In addition, this study was discussed in terms of children's temperament and parents' personality as antecedent factors of parent-child interaction.
