Relationship of Adult Representations of Childhood Parenting and Personality Tendencies to Adult Stressors and Political Ideology

Abstract  

Undergraduate students in a Southeastern US University (n = 232) responded to an inventory that included retrospective measures of their parents’ style of parenting (authoritarian
vs. authoritative) and their own childhood psychological tendencies (insecurity vs. confidence), as well as their adult stressors
and political orientation. Authoritative parenting positively correlated with childhood confidence and negatively correlated
with both childhood insecurity and adult stressors. Conversely, authoritarian parenting was positively associated with childhood
insecurity and adult stressors but was not significantly correlated with childhood confidence. For the most part, parenting
styles, early childhood tendencies, and adult stressors were unrelated to adult political ideology, contrary to previous longitudinal
research reporting these connections.
