Volk  \nThe authors investigate the personality traits of parents and children and their significant influence on the behavior of the other. Using the HEXACO model of personality, the authors examine the behavior of one hundred parent-child dyads on a playground to understand broader parent-child relationships.  \nTheir analyses reveal two opposed types of parental behavior (engaged parents versus unengaged parents) and child behavior (introverted cautious play versus autonomous energetic play) on the playground. The authors assert their study demonstrates that the personality traits of both parents and children as measured by the HEXACO model play a significant role in parental and child behaviors during play and in broader interactions. Key words:  \nHEXACO; parent-child behavior; parent-child interaction; personality traits  \nThe personalities of parent and child significantly influence each other’s behavior, as transaction models of parenting suggest. That these characteristics evidence important associations with parent and child interactions (Belsky 1984; de Haan, DeKovic, and Prinzie 2012) is especially apparent in the literature on the personality traits of parents and children (Coplan, Reichel, and Rowan 2009; Wilson and Durbin 2012). In particular, personality traits help explain the variance in parenting and parent-child behavior (Belsky 1984) .  \nIndeed, a wide range of personality traits can help parents flexibly respond to their children (de Vries et al. 2016). Many studies have shown that the personality traits of parents have important links with their behavior and its outcomes for children (Belsky 1984; Clark, Donnelian, and Robins 2018; Prinzie et al. 2004; Wilson and Durbin 2012) . Children’s personality traits, too, have important implications for their behavior and for their parents’ behavior (Belsky 1984; de Haan, DeKovic, and Prinzie 2012; Prinzie et al. 2004; Wilson and Durbin 2012) .  \nAlthough many of these studies have used personality traits to study parents and temperamental traits to study children in early to middle childhood  \n188  \nAmerican Journal of Play, volume 14, numbes 2 © 2022 by The Strong Contact Prarthana Franklin-Luther at [franklip@mcmaster.ca](franklip@mcmaster.ca)  \n(Armour et al. 2017; Coplan, Arbeau, and Armer 2008), temperamental traits, which are largely biological, prove less useful for understanding the influence of children on parental behavior in middle childhood, a period in which children are more strongly affected by their environment (Buss and Plomin 1986; Rothbart and Bates 1998). Personality traits are, thus, more appropriate because they represent the interaction between a child’s predisposition and the environment (Buss 2009). Additionally, when comparing how individual differences in parents and children influence each other’s behavior, it is important to use concurrent measurements (de Haan, DeKovic, and Prinzie 2012) .  \nThe HEXACO Personality Inventory (a six-dimensional model of human personality) helps address these gaps and offers several important advantages for studying personality traits associated with parent-child behavior. The HEXACO is a new personality model with stronger theoretical, empirical, and cross-cultural support than other personality models like the so-called “big five”[openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism—eds.](Goldberg 1990). The HEXACO scale includes honestyhumility (selfishness versus selflessness), emotionality (empathic worrying versus callousness), extraversion (sociable versus introverted), agreeableness (patient versus reactive), conscientiousness (diligent versus careless), and openness (curious versus conventional) (Ashton and Lee 2020) .  \nThe HEXACO’s unique combination of personality factors allows important distinctions between social motivations","cbCaiuFXzzzt6edw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuFXzzzt6edw","pdf",146139,"English","# Background and Motivation\n## Personality traits and transaction models\n## Why HEXACO is used\n# Study Design and Findings\n## Parent-child behavior on the playground\n## Engaged vs unengaged parenting\n## Child play styles\n# Implications\n## Emotionality and unique motivations","[{\"question\":\"What does the study investigate about parent-child behavior?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines how parents’ and children’s personality traits influence each other’s behavior during playground play, using the HEXACO model.\"},{\"question\":\"How many parent-child dyads were analyzed and what setting was used?\",\"answer\":\"The researchers analyzed one hundred parent-child dyads and used real-time observations of behavior on a playground.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of parental and child behaviors did the analyses reveal?\",\"answer\":\"Two opposed parental behaviors were identified—engaged and unengaged parents—and two child play patterns—introverted cautious play versus autonomous energetic play.\"}]","Exploring Links between Parent-Child Playground Behavior and HEXACO Personality Traits | PDF",1792073388,48]
