This study examined the correlation between parenting style and childs personality in the Chinese context. A total of 205 random respondents aged 15-57 years old recalled childhood experience and reported their parents' responses in different situations, and completed Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory (CBF-PI-B) that is more suitable for Chinese people. The results showed that in most parenting situations, authoritative parenting is negatively correlated with neuroticism and positively correlated with conscientiousness. Authoritarian parenting is positively correlated with neuroticism and negatively correlated with conscientiousness. Uninvolved parenting is negatively correlated with openness. However, the findings on the correlation about permissive parenting were insufficient. In the group of parenting situations, authoritative style is positively correlated with openness, and uninvolved style is negatively correlated with agreeableness and extroversion. These results were discussed in groups according to different types of parenting situations. Also, this study found that the conclusion of the correlation between parenting style and childs personality under change of situation mostly conform to that in the general situations of previous studies.
