- Abstract
- The current study examined the longitudinal associations of the Big Five personality traits (i.e., Neuroticism, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Openness to Experience, and Conscientiousness) with attachment orientations (i.e., Anxiety and Avoidance) around the event of childbirth. For this purpose, the authors conducted a three-wave longitudinal research program (second prepartum trimester, 6 months postpartum, and 1 year postpartum) using cross-lagged models on 204 parental couples. Results showed that (a) Neuroticism was longitudinally associated with Anxiety and (b) Extraversion was within-time associated with Avoidance.
