Introversion-extroversion and anxiety characteristics reported by 54 male and 97 female undergraduate college students were compared to their recollections of loving-rejecting and casual-demanding parental behaviors. The Cattell 16 PF and a questionnaire concerning parental behavior were the principal instruments employed. Anxious and introverted males reported rejecting fathers and mothers. Extroverted females noted loving fathers. Socioeconomic background and tendencies to agree and give socially desirable responses were considered. Implications of results for reinforcement and modeling aspects of social-learning theory were also suggested. (28 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
