Hello everyone,
I have started my PhD at Helmut Schmidt University, I am doing my research in Germany, Hamburg and my research topic is "Do family characteristics influence the personality of parents and offspring?" I am looking for;
- A comparison of the influence and the impact of family characteristic in offspring and parent's personality traits
- To investigate the probability of personality disorders affecting the offspring and whether it is predictable from their parents and/or family characteristics.
Family characteristics are alcoholic parents, parental medical/psychiatric illness, parental separation/loss, abusive parents, unemployment, parental education status, teenage mother, large family size.
Sample size- 200 dyads (100 parents and 100 offspring),.
Variables- Independent variable- 8 types of family characteristics. Dependent variables- Personality traits, gender, age.
Tools- For personality traits, NEO-FFI, 60 items questionnaire(german version) and for predicting personality disorder - (need suggestion)
Currently, I am confused about using the Actor Partner Interdependence Model, am I correct on this, if not, what other models I can use?
You can look at our paper how parents' fighting impacted their children and instigated suicidal thoughts in the young persons:
Cook & Kenny's Actor Partner Interdependence Model requires data from both partners at two points in time. If you only have cross-sectional data, it is not appropriate.

David L Morgan thank you, sir, for your guidance.
Yes, I will be using cross-sectional data, I wanted to ask which design will be appropriate here now, will it be the standard dyadic design?
Béatrice Marianne Ewalds-Kvist thank you, for sharing your work.
