The main goal of this study is to investigate the psychodynamic factors (i.e., separation-individuation difficulties, proneness to shame and anger) and related familial dynamics (i.e., perceived parenting practices, role reversal experiences with parents, parental personality disorder beliefs) that contribute to the formation of distorted personality beliefs (i.e., "deprecating", "inflated", and "ambivalent") in young adults. In the first study, the psychometric characteristics of "Relationship with Parents Scale" (RPS) retrospectively measuring the role reversal experiences of individuals with their parents were tested on a sample consisting of 319 participants aged between 18 and 63 (M = 32.75, SD = 10.68). The reliability and validity of the Turkish RPS were satisfactory. In the second study, the relations among the measures of the study and the mediating role of early parental experiences of the offspring in the transmission of personality disorder beliefs from parents to the offspring were investigated. The sample of this study composed of 535 young adults (381 females, 154 males) with the ages of 18 and 25 (M = 20.51, SD = 1.75) and their mothers and fathers. Personality belief categories showed both distinctive and similar features concerning early rearing styles, role reversion, emotions, and separation-individuation difficulties in young adults. Moreover, the poor parental experiences had a mediating role in the transmission of personality disorder beliefs from mothers to daughters and from fathers to sons. The findings were discussed under the consideration of existing literature as well as strengths and limitations of the study and directions for future studies.
