parental control, 7 and a little evidence that negative

Psychological attributes of parents also influence the way parents manage their children.26 Indeed a meta - analysis of 30 studies focused on the Big 5 personality characteristics involving almost 6,000 parent - child dyads revealed that
higher levels extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience and lower levels of neuroticism were related to greater
warmth and behavioural control on the part of parents, whereas
higher levels of agreeableness and lower levels of neuroticism were related to the provision of more support for autonomy; 27 somewhat similar results emerged in a related meta - analysis that also examined the influence of
parental psychological problems on parenting.28
