Abstract
Through extensive research conducted by Takahashi, Roberts and Hoshino (2012), they found that parental socialization relates to higher conscientiousness and having a healthier adult lifestyle later on in life. Using a US-based sample, this study aimed to replicate Takahashi al.’s findings that conscientiousness mediates the relationship between parental socialization and healthier lifestyle, focusing on the overall health and the sub categories that fall within it. Results from this study however, showed that while there were significant correlations between conscientiousness and health and conscientiousness and socialization, there was no relationship between health and parental socialization of responsibility. Thus, this study failed to fully replicate Takahashi et al.’s findings.
Studying Parental Socialization and Its Effects on Conscientiousness and Physical Well-Being
To be conscientious is to be aware of what you are doing and what is around you. But what if the way your parents raised you, affected your conscientiousness and even made you become a healthier adult. When parents teach their children what they believe responsibility is, such as always keeping their room clean or taking out the garbage, they are socializing their child in order for them to form habits that they will carry throughout life. A well- known study conducted by Takahashi, Roberts and Hoshino in 2012 proved that is indeed the case. Takahashi and his colleagues had a large sample of Japanese participants take an online survey where they were divided into three groups by their age category and then assessed on how they answered questions on the online survey. Their study focused on the main constructs of conscientiousness, perceived parental socialization of
