Abstract

The level of neuroticism is a crucial indicator for assessing an individual’s emotional stability when confronted with stress and is also regarded as closely associated with health. In the studies of this personality trait, the influential factors that cannot be overlooked are the parenting style during childhood and the attachment style in intimate relationships. This paper aims to investigate the influence of parenting styles and attachment styles on an individual’s level of neuroticism. Through the method of literature review, this research analyzes relevant studies and summarizes the definitions and measurement methods of the above three concepts, as well as their relationships and the mechanism of action. The research reveals that parenting styles and attachment styles have a significant impact on the level of neuroticism. The authoritative parenting style and the secure attachment style are conducive to reducing the level of neuroticism and promoting individual mental health; while the authoritarian, neglectful parenting styles and the anxious, avoidant attachment styles may result in an elevated level of neuroticism and increase the risk of mental health issues.
