Abstract: 345 freshmen and their fathers were surveyed with NEO-FFI and the father part of PBI to explore the influencing factors of paternal parenting style in Chinese cultural background based on father’s personality and children’s characteristics. The results showed that paternal personality is significantly correlated with parenting style. Paternal agreeableness and openness significantly predicted paternal care, paternal openness predicted independence-encouraging, and paternal agreeableness predicted control. There were significant differences in paternal parenting styles in terms of children’s gender and if he or she is only-child or not. At the same time, there was a significant moderating effect of children’s characteristics between paternal personality and parenting style. So paternal personality and children’s characteristics significantly affect paternal parenting style, and children’s characteristics play a moderating role between paternal personality and parenting style.

Key words: paternal personality, parenting style, gender of child, the only child
