Fatherhood, Father child relations, PersonalityAbstract
To identify the relationship between the father's personality profiles and the paternal function of openness to the world (OW), 171 fathers from two-parent families were evaluated. Through the hierarchical clustering, four personality profiles were created according to the Big Five Factors model, which were related to the dimensions of OW by structural equation modeling. All profiles showed high friendliness as a protective factor for the exercise of the paternal role of OW, as well as the presence of conscientiousness was a protective factor; while the moderate presence of neuroticism was a risk factor for the increased punishment reported by these parents.
