Parental Bonding, Personality Traits and Pro Social Behavior in Young Adults

Abstract

This current correlational research design was used in the present study to examine the relationships between parent-child bonds, personality traits, and social behaviors in young adults. It was hypothesized that there is a relationship between parent-child bonding, personality traits, and social behavior in young adults. The sample included 300 young people (N=300) including men (n=180) and women (n=120) in different age groups about 20 to 30 years. Appropriate sampling methods were used to collect data from a variety of adults. A convenience sampling strategy was used to approach participants and collect data. A 10-item personality inventory(Gosling et al., 2003), parental bonding instrument (Parker et al., 1979), and adult social behavior scale (Caprara et al. 2005) were used to evaluate the relationships between parental bond, personality traits, and social behavior in young adults. The results were calculated using SPSS 26 Pearson moment correlation coefficient,usingHierarchical regression analysis and sample T-Test as additional analysis. In support of this hypothesis, there was a significant correlation between parental bonding, personality traits and social behavior in young adults, there was a significance variance in parental bonding and Prosocial behavior on the basis of family system and parental bonding and personality traits strongly predicting Prosocial behavior. This research will help mental health professionals develop programs for adults to develop prosocial behaviors and contribute to society in the service of humanity and help adults to become kind and humble human beings
