abstract="The present investigation compares the personality traits and studies the parental rearing of 12- 18 delinquency and non-delinquency youth. This study selected 60 delinquent youth parents through availability sampling procedure for Arak institutions. Furthermore, 60 parents of non-delinquent youth were selected through cluster sampling procedure. The study employs a shortened version of five factor personality test of parental rearing of Baumrind. The results demonstrated that there exists a statistically meaningful difference between personality traits of the parents of the two groups of delinquency and non delinquency children (P<0.01), As well as the same statistically significant difference was observed for parental rearing between two groups (P<0.01). A high correlation coefficient index showed that there is a meaningful relationship between personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, openness and conscientiousness) and parenting style (authoritarian, democratic, permissiveness) [P<0.01].<p />",
