Personality resemblance between parents and offspring : study of five factors across four samples and questionnaires
The aim of this study was to compare personality resemblance in four independent Croatian samples using the same family study design, but different measures of five-factor personality traits. The family study design can provide evidence of familial aggregation of personality and of assortative mating. Father-mother correlations, father-offspring correlations, mother-offspring correlations and regressions of offspring on midparent score were computed for five broad personality domains in each sample. Father-mother correlations ranged between -.12 and .27 across different samples and questionnaires, while father-offspring correlations ranged between .04 and .34, mother-offspring correlations between -.01 and .28 and regressions of offspring on midparent scores between .05 and .35. These results are congruent with earlier findings of: (a) low to moderate assortative mating for personality, with a trend of familial resemblance differing within some domains (Extraversion and Intellect/Openness) depending on the questionnaire used and (b) lower familial aggregation of personality compared to heritability estimates from earlier studies using twin design. There is a trend of differences in familial aggregation across four samples and questionnaires suggesting that, from a behavior genetic perspective, conclusions on family resemblance may differ depending on the five-factor personality questionnaire used, even though they taxonomically measure similar or even the same constructs.
