INTRO• Personality traits can influence academic/ recreational cognitions• Self-Esteem is an important personality traitMETHODS1.N = 129, 2.Variables of interest were collected through a survey administered on Qualtrics.3.Tested with a moderation model, multiple regression across 7 traits/behaviors using self-esteem as a moderator.RESULTS• Data suggest no significant results.DISCUSSION• Self-esteem and parenting had a minimal combined effect suggesting that parents and teachers/coaches should focus on supporting interests and development over improving self-esteem• This research could help open the field of psychology to improvements in evaluation, research, and treatment of personality and mood disorders commonly associated with development and social functioningPersonality, Parenting Style, and Academic Cognitions: The Effects of Authoritarian Parenting Style on Personality Traits and BehaviorsAdam Barrett-Clarke, Rachel Pauletti, Ph.D., Patrick Cooper, Ph.D.The lack of significant data is important because it suggests that personality traits and behaviors/cognitions may be more powerful factors in developmental and social interactions than expected, based on prior research.• Four parenting styles (Jabeen at al, 2013):• Authoritarian – strict, without warm• Authoritative – warmth and discipline• Permissive – little discipline, more freedom• Neglectful/Uninvolved –not in child(ren)’s lives or not caring• Self-esteem may not be as strong of a personality trait as some research suggests (Hickman, Bartholomae, and McKenry (2000))• Effects of authoritarian parenting may not be as significant as research suggests (Tang, Li, Sandoval, & Liu (2018))• The understanding that personality is a more fluid set of traits can benefit patient care when addressing personality and mood disorders in treatment settings.
