Background & Objectives: Conduct Disorder (CD) is among the most common behavioral disorders that threaten an individual's mental health. Adolescents with CD fail to adapt their behavior to the expectations of parents, others, and social norms. Studies indicated that external problems in adolescents might be equally related to psychological pathology in parents, while their internal issues are more closely related to maternal psychological pathology than in fathers. Numerous factors impact the development of CD, i.e., related to parental personality traits, the couple's communication problems with each other, and the style of behavioral interactions between them and adolescents. Studies found that the parents of adolescents with CD encounter difficulty regulating emotions and behaviors. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate personality traits and coping behaviors in adolescent girls with CD parents.
Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study. The statistical population included the parents of all secondary school adolescent girls with CD aged 14 to 18 years in Tehran City, Iran in 2020 who were selected by purposive sampling method Statistical sample was chosen according to the sample size of descriptive studies and based on previous variance (S2=19.45), included 124 mothers and 124 fathers (N=248) who were targeted by sampling among adolescent girls with a higher odds of CD. To be screened, during negotiations with the principals of some girls' high schools in districts 14 and 19 of Tehran, while informing them of some CD symptoms, they were requested to introduce adolescents with this syndrome. Thus, 512 students were introduced. Then, screening was performed, and out of 512 students, 131 obtained the highest score in conduct disorder, i.e., the scores of ≥18 based on the Youth Self-Report Questionnaire (YSRQ; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001). In the grading process, by excluding the families of 7 students (due to noncooperation), 124 mothers and 124 fathers were included in the study. The exclusion criterion was noncooperation for the parents and obtaining scores <18 in the YSRQ for the adolescents. The measurement tools included the YSRQ, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire) EPQ; Eysenck & Eysenck, 1975), and Coping Strategies Questionnaire (Lazaros, 1980). The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and inferential statistics, including Independent Samples t-test at a significance level of 0.01 in SPSS. Additionally, to evaluate the status of parental coping behaviors, Paired Samples t-test was applied. The mean scores of the subjects' problem-based coping strategies were compared with the mean scores of their emotion-based coping strategies.
Results: The present study results suggested that all examined parents, on average, had personality traits of introversion, psycho-annoyance, and lying (p<0.001) and no personality traits of extraversion and neuroticism (p<0.001). Furthermore, all parents surveyed, on average, had scored higher on emotion-based coping strategies than problem-based strategies (p<0.001); thus, they had emotion-based coping behaviors.
Conclusion: The present study findings emphasized the impact of family environment, personality, and parental behavior on the incidence of adolescent CD. This is because introversion, psycho-annoyance and lying and emotion-based coping strategies are evident in these parents.
