Abstract

This paper investigates personality trait differences, specifically aggression, neuroticism, and impulsive sensation-seeking, in young adults with fathers working abroad intermittently compared to those with fathers working near their homes. The study aims to identify and analyze statistically significant differences in these traits, exploring the impact of the father's absence. Hypotheses are formulated, and a Zukerman-Kuhlman Test is used on a sample of 60 participants aged 18-25, living with their parents. Results confirm differences in neuroticism and aggression based on father's work location but find no significant difference in impulsive sensation-seeking. The study suggests that father absence during childhood may contribute to higher neuroticism and anxiety in adulthood, with potential links to increased aggression. The impact depends on factors like duration, frequency, and the child's age, emphasizing the importance of active parental involvement to mitigate negative effects.

父亲缺席对青少年人格特质的影响：对攻击性、神经质和冲动性感觉寻求的比较分析

本文研究了父亲间歇性在国外工作的年轻人与父亲在家附近工作的年轻人的人格特质差异，特别是攻击性、神经质和冲动性感觉追求。本研究旨在找出并分析这些特质在统计学上的显著差异，探讨父亲不在身边的影响。研究提出了假设，并对 60 名年龄在 18-25 岁、与父母同住的参与者进行了祖克曼-库尔曼（Zukerman-Kuhlman）测试。结果证实，父亲的工作地点不同会导致孩子在神经质和攻击性方面的差异，但在冲动性感觉追求方面没有发现明显差异。研究表明，童年时期父亲不在身边可能会导致成年后神经质和焦虑症的增加，并可能与攻击性的增加有关。这种影响取决于持续时间、频率和孩子的年龄等因素，强调了父母积极参与以减轻负面影响的重要性。
