Three questions drawn from parental acceptance-rejection theory were addressed: (a) Are children's perceptions of parental acceptance transnationally associated with specific personality dispositions? (b) Are adults' remembrances of parental acceptance in childhood transnationally associated with these personality dispositions? and (c) Do relations between parental acceptance and offspring's personality dispositions vary by gender of parents? All studies used the child and adult versions of the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaires (PARQ) for Mothers and for Fathers, as well as the child and adult versions of the Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ). Results showed that both maternal and paternal acceptance in childhood correlated significantly in all countries with all seven personality dispositions of adult offspring. Adults' remembrance of paternal acceptance in childhood correlated significantly with all adult personality dispositions except dependence.
三个问题源自父母接受-拒绝理论：（a）儿童对父母接受的看法是否与特定的个性特征有关？（b）成年人对童年时期父母接受的记忆是否与这些个性特征有关？（c）父母接受与子女个性特征之间的关系是否因父母的性别而异？所有研究都使用了父母接受-拒绝问卷（PARQ）的儿童和成人版本，以及人格评估问卷（PAQ）的儿童和成人版本。结果表明，在所有国家，儿童时期的母亲和父亲的接受程度都与成年子女的七个个性特征显著相关。成年人对童年时期父亲接受的记忆与除依赖之外的所有成年个性特征显著相关。
