Predicting Antisocial Behavior Based on Parental Personality Traits and Parental Depression

The purpose of writing this article is to investigate the prediction of antisocial behavior based on parental personality traits and parental depression. Antisocial behaviors are widely seen in different societies today. These behaviors include actions that conflict with social rules and values and generally cause opposition and destruction of social relationships. In the field of psychology and behavioral sciences, many researches have been conducted to investigate the cause of antisocial behavior, especially in children and adolescents. Some personality traits of parents can be related to antisocial behavior of children and teenagers. For example, parents who have traits such as lack of anger control, failure to provide support and supervision, inability to solve problems, and deficits in social skills may produce children who are prone to antisocial behavior. Parental depression can also lead to negative consequences for the behavior of children and adolescents. Parents experiencing depression may be less able to provide support and supervision and may be less able to meet their children's social and psychological needs in general. This may increase the likelihood of antisocial behavior in children. Therefore, due to the importance of this issue, the prediction of antisocial behavior based on personality traits and parental depression was investigated, and at the end of the article, suggestions related to this issue were presented.
