Abstract	Research has identified parental personality and parenting behavior as important contributors to healthy child development. However, indirect associations are largely unknown. The current study aimed to investigate the mediating role of parenting dimension relations between parental personality and adolescent mental health problems. The cross-sectional sample included 4,258 German adolescents (48.7% male, 11-17 years) and one parent who participated in a national health survey (KiGGS Wave 2). The results underline and extend previous indications of direct associations between parental personality and their children's mental health problems by highlighting the adverse role of neuroticism. Furthermore, new insights are added regarding the mediating roles of parenting dimensions (i.e., warmth, behavioural control, and psychological control). Future efforts and parent-focused prevention programs should be extended by parental personality to identify maladaptive parenting behaviour and thus contribute to the development of their children's mental health. Parental personality is indirectly related to adolescent mental health through parenting. Parental neuroticism and psychological control are associated with adolescent mental health problems. Parental conscientiousness and warmth are associated with adolescent mental health. Parental openness and agreeableness require more scientific attention. Further efforts are needed to provide preventive measures considering parental personality. (ZPID).
