Early Maternal Affection Shapes Key Personality Traits for Life
Affectionate mothering in early childhood may play a lasting role in shaping personality traits that influence educational, professional, and health outcomes. A study of over 2,200 identical twins found that maternal warmth between ages 5 and 10 predicted higher levels of openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness at age 18.
These traits are closely tied to long-term success and well-being, suggesting even modest improvements in parenting could have widespread societal benefits. The research also emphasizes that personality development is shaped by a complex interplay of genetics, parenting, and life experiences.
