Perplexing patterns of personality codevelopment: Findings from a 17-year longitudinal study of Mexican-origin families.
Article in Journal of personality and social psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The present study addresses a fundamental yet largely neglected question about personality development: To what extent are changes in parent personality traits associated with changes in their child's personality traits? Numerous developmental processes suggest that parent and child personality might have transactional associations over time, contributing to their codevelopment. This codevelopment may be homotypic (e.g., associations between changes in parent and child conscientiousness) and heterotypic (e.g., associations between changes in parent conscientiousness and changes in child extraversion). In addition to investigating the extent to which parent and child personality codevelops, we also investigated the extent to which parental (mother and father) personality codevelops. We tested these ideas using bivariate growth curve models of personality trait assessments from a 17-year longitudinal study of 674 Mexican-origin families. Intercepts of parent and child trait trajectories were generally correlated, but we did not find significant correlations between the slopes, contrary to our expectation of parent-child codevelopment. We found stronger evidence for codevelopment in mom-dad dyads, with significant slope-slope correlations for extraversion, agreeableness, and openness. In almost all cases, the results generalized across child gender, child nativity, and parental age. We discuss the implications of the findings for adolescent personality development.
