The Relationship Between Daily Stress And Personality Traits With Parenting Styles Among Families In Zanjan City

Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits and daily stress with parenting styles among families with children attending kindergartens in Zanjan. Method: The statistical population of the present study consisted of parents in Zanjan during the winter of ۲۰۲۲. Using convenience sampling, ۵۰ parents were selected and analyzed. This research was descriptive-correlational in nature and employed regression analysis. Data collection tools included the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ; Robinson et al., ۲۰۰۱), the Daily Stress Scale (DSS; Helly et al., ۲۰۰۸), and the NEO Personality Inventory-۳ (NEO-PI-۳; Costa & McCrae, ۱۹۸۵). The questionnaires were completed by parents, and data were analyzed using SPSS software version ۲۴. Findings: The results showed that work-related stress (β = -۰.۴۲) and flexibility (β = ۰.۳۶) had a significant impact on parenting styles at a significance level of less than ۰.۰۵. Conscientiousness (β = ۰.۳۰) also demonstrated a positive and significant impact on parenting styles. Other variables, including stress from family issues, financial stress, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism, did not have a significant effect on predicting parenting styles. Conclusion: The findings indicated that personality traits and daily stress could significantly influence parenting styles. This suggests that these factors can serve as valuable resources for planning interventions to improve parenting methods in families.
