abstract="In the last decades a large volume of research on the role of family variables and personality has been generated in the explanation of adolescent behavior. In particular, the aspects that have received more attention from researchers have been the constructs of affect, family conflict and parental supervisory level. Within the individual factors &quot;temperament&quot; variables such as impulsiveness, sensation seeking and empathy have been the most studied. In the present study we analyzed the role of personality traits and family variables on the manifestation of emotional and behavioral problems in adolescence. We will also examine to what extent personality and family variables and their relationship to behaviour vary as a function of gender. The study sample consisted of 1008 adolescents with a mean age of 14.11 years (53.1% male, 46.9% women). The relevance of these findings for the prevention of problem behaviors in adolescents is discussed.<p />",
