Canonical correlational analysis (CCA) was used to maximize coefficient of interrelation between two sets of variables, such as Conditions in childhood set with seven predictor variables and Personality traits set with five criterion variables in order to test the hypotheses H1. It allowed to assess the combination of variance of two sets step by step in order that correlation between sets was maximized. Hierarchical regression analysis was used for testing unique predictions in hypotheses H2, H3 and H4, by each component of Conditions in childhood and Personality traits.
Results
No outliers or missing values were in our data. Descriptive statistics and reliability of the scales are shown in Table 2. Canonical correlational analysis (CCA) was used to maximize coefficient of interrelation between two sets of variables, such as Conditions in childhood set with seven predictor variables and Personality traits set with five criterion variables in order to test the hypotheses H1. It allowed to assess the combination of variance of two sets step by step in order that correlation between sets was maximized. Only two functions were significant (see Table 3). As significant level is p <.05, only first and second functions out of five were statistically significant.

The results of the correlational analysis are presented in Table 4. Function 1 and Function 2 were two variants of a canonical correlational analysis with seven predictors of conditions in childhood and five personality traits variables. These functions had reasonable amount of variance between the variable sets and they explained 12% and 8% of the variance within their functions.

Note. Structure coefficients (rs) greater than |.45| are underlined. Communality coefficients (h2) greater than 45% are underlined. Coef = standardized canonical function coefficient; rs = structure coefficient; rs2 = squared structure coefficient; h2 = communality coefficient; Cross-л - cross-loadings |
We chose relevant criterion variables in Function 1 and Function 2 with structure coefficient above .45 (following a rule of thumb). In the Function 1 relevant criterion variables in Personality traits set were extraversion (rs = .81), agreeableness (rs = .60), and openness to experience (rs = -.51). Openness to experience made the secondary contribution to the Personality traits set. They had the greatest amount of variance they can contribute to Personality traits set and all were negatively related. Cross-loading coefficients for extraversion (rs = -.28), agreeableness (rs = -.21) and openness to experience (rs = -.18) were the amounts of relation to Conditions in childhood in the Function 1 (see Table 4).
Figure 1. Illustration of the Function 1 in a canonical correlation analysis with seven predictors of conditions in childhood and five personality traits variables
Relevant predictor variables in Conditions in childhood set with the greatest amount of variance to contribute to the whole set in the Function 1 are home environment (rs = -.71), learning resources scale (rs = -.69), deprivation scale (rs = .45), authoritative parenting style scale (rs = -.90), caring parenting style scale (rs = -.79), and authoritarian parenting style scale (rs = .55). All of them are with the greatest amount of variance and all, except deprivation scale and authoritarian parenting style scale, are negatively related. Cross-loading coefficients for home environment scale (-.24), learning resources scale (-.24), deprivation scale (.16), authoritative parenting style (-.31), caring parenting style (-.27), and authoritarian parenting style (.19) are the amounts of contribution they make to Personality traits set in the Function 1 (see Table 4).
Relevant variables in the Function 2 are extraversion (rs = .53) and agreeableness (rs = .56). They have the greatest amount of variance, which demonstrates how they are connected with Personality traits set in overall and all of them are positively related. Cross-loadings coefficients for extraversion (.15) and agreeableness (-.16) are the amounts of contribution they make to Conditions in childhood in the Function 2 (see Table 4).
Figure 2. Illustration of the Function 2 in a canonical correlation analysis with seven predictors of dconditions in childhood and five personality traits variables.
Relevant predictor variables with the greatest amount of variance to contribute to the Conditions in childhood set in the Function 2 are home environment scale (rs = .48) and authoritarian parenting style scale (rs = .61). Both of them are with the greatest amount of variance and all are positively related. Cross-loading coefficients for home environment scale (.14) and authoritarian parenting style scale (.17) are the amounts of contribution they make to Personality traits set in the Function 2 (see Table 4).
The strength of the relationships between pairs of variables is reflected by Rc. The common variance between two sets of variables in the Function 1 (Rc = .34) is higher, than in the Function 2 (Rc = .28). We conсlude, that composite variables are better interrelated in the Function 1.
In the Function 1 all variables from Conditions in childhood set, except authoritarian parenting style and deprivation scale, are negatively associated with Personality traits set. In the Function 2 deprivation scale, authoritative parenting style and caring parenting style are negatively associated with Personality traits set, home environment, learning resources, nutrition status and authoritarian parenting style are positively associated with Personality traits set. This provides confirmation for the main hypothesis (H1) about existing association between socioeconomic conditions in childhood and personality traits from five-factor model. childhood adult poverty education
Regression analysis was used to test the unique predictions in hypotheses H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 and H7 and to analyze the effect of each scale from Conditions in childhood set on personality traits (see Appendix C).

Authoritarian parenting style had no significant correlations with neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience, but was positively associated with extraversion. Assumption of positive association between authoritarian parenting style and neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness and extraversion can be partially confirmed (H2). authoritative parenting style was positively related to extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness, but no significant associations were obtained with openness to experience and neuroticism. These results provide the ground for only partial confirmation of the 2nd unique hypothesis about positive association between authoritative parenting style and extraversion. openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and negative association with neuroticism (H3). Home environment was positively associated with extraversion and negatively with agreeableness, but no significant associations with openness to experience and conscientiousness were obtained. This way, hypothesis (H4) about positive association between home environment and extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience can only be partially confirmed. No significant associations were obtained between nutrition status scale and any of personality traits (H5). No significant associations were obtained also between deprivation scale and any of personality traits (H6). Learning resources were positively associated with agreeableness (H7). The indirect effects of gender, age and income in adulthood were significant (see Appendix C).
Discussion
In this study we examined the effect of socioeconomic environment in childhood on personality traits in adulthood. Although the surroundings of low-income children contain more singular psychosocial and physical environmental risk factors with known adverse developmental outcomes, the confluence of multiple psychosocial and physical risk factors may be a key, unique feature of childhood poverty (Mayer & Jencks, 1989). So, our approach for studying socioeconomic environment in childhood considered not only financial aspect of poverty, but predominantly emphasized combination of psychosocial and physical factors, such as a lack of physical security, increased levels of stress, deprivation of resources, and bad education. We followed findings of Brooks-Gunn & Duncan (1997) and Adler and colleagues (1993), who offered similar division of spheres, which are influenced by poor conditions of life (e. g. home environment, child health and nutrition, stimulating home environment, neighborhood conditions and etc.). This division formed the basis for Childhood conditions of life questionnaire, which incorporated many aspects of environment in childhood influential for personality (learning resources, home environment, parenting styles, nutrition status and Deprivation status). The approach allowed to obtain understanding of how conditions of life in childhood are associated with personality.
Canonical correlational analysis allowed to explore the relationships between a set of conditions of life in childhood and five-factor model personality traits set. This type of analysis allowed to evaluate overall relationship between conditions of life in childhood and personality. Most important finding was that conditions in childhood were influential for personality traits in adulthood. These findings are consistent with past studies devoted to interrelation between factors of poor childhood conditions of life and different aspects of personality (Brooks-Gunn & Duncan, 1997; Duncan et. al., 1994; Evans, 2004; Griskevicius et. al., 2013). Obtained findings demonstrate that childhood conditions of life are associated with personality traits in adulthood. Regression analysis allowed to analyze the effect of conditions in childhood on personality, formulated in hypotheses H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 and H7. The results showed that a number of socioeconomic factors impacted personality. Most influential findings was that authoritative parenting style strongly related to three personality traits, such as conscientiousness, consistent with previous studies (Krevans & Gibbs 1996; Knafo & Plomin 2006), agreeableness, and extraversion. No significant associations with neuroticism and openness to experience were obtained. Authoritarian parenting style also had significant correlation with extraversion, consistent with findings of Maddahi and colleagues (2012). No significant correlations between authoritarian parenting style and openness to experience and neuroticism were obtained.
It appears, that positive relation was obtained between each of parenting styles (authoritarian & authoritative) and extraversion. Consistent with findings of Maddahi and colleagues (2012), positive association between authoritarian parenting style and extraversion was found. At the same time, finding of the positive association between extraversion and authoritative parenting style is consistent with past findings (Savitha & Venkatachalam, 2016). Obtained results confirm past findings where ambivalence in relations between authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles with extraversion were found. So, findings of the hypotheses concerning different parenting styles and personality traits (H2 & H3) can be partially confirmed, because significant associations were still obtained. Nevertheless, past findings (e. g. Maddahi et. al., 2012; Savitha & Venkatachalam, 2016) found associations between parenting styles and parental personality traits, while results of the current study make a contribution in studying of parenting practices' role in formation of child personality. Moreover, retrospective method allowed to investigate the relation between perceived parenting style in families of the participants in childhood and personality traits of the participants in adult age.
At the same time no significant associations between caring parenting style with any of personality traits were obtained. Caring parenting style scale incorporated author's developed questions, expected to fulfill parenting style, characterized as warm, nurturing and considerate. Despite the fact, that questions for caring parenting style were mentioned to be crucial for personality development in past studies (e. g. «My parents could always find time to read books with me», Brooks-Gunn & Duncan, 1997), obtained results do not let us affirm significant role of caring parenting style for personality.
Home environment was positively associated with extraversion and unexpectedly negatively associated with agreeableness. No expected associations with conscientiousness and openness to experience were obtained. It follows, that favorable home environment with absence of constant noise, or presence of own sleeping or working place, which are measured in the questionnaire by specific questions, serve the ground for people low on agreeableness to be distant, unfriendly, uncooperative and putting their own interests above those of others. On a one hand, agreeable people are more likeable than disagreeable. On the other hand, agreeableness may not be useful in some occupational situations, where difficult or objective decisions are required. People, who score low on agreeableness often make excellent critics, scientists, or soldiers. Positive association with extraversion can be explained as contribution of early childhood conditions with lack of privacy and irritating external factors to features of extraverted person, who derives energy from external means (Olsen, 2002), and is assertive and gregarious (Matthews, et. al., 2009).
We tried to come to understanding of goods distribution specificity and alimentation in low-income families. We did not obtain any significant associations between nutrition status and personality traits, inconsistent with past findings (MacNicol et. al., 2003; Vollrath, et. al., 2012). We assume that our sample had quite good level of nutrition in childhood, than we could have expected. Additionally, possible explanation is that theoretical background on poor nutrition status in childhood and personality was based on sample with children of 11-15 years old (MacNicol et. al., 2003), who were already quite mature. Another reason of such results may be priorities families of our participants had, such as always keeping children well nourished and not letting them starve, despite the lack of financial for other family needs. We also did not obtain significant associations between deprivation scale and personality traits. It appears, that our sample included people with low deprivation, and what provided no significant associations between level of deprivation and personality traits. We assume, that in case of sample with strong deprivation, significant associations between deprivation scale and personality traits would occur. In overall, the retrospective way of measurement of childhood conditions may be the most significant explanation for absence of associations between nutrition status and personality traits, and deprivation level and personality traits, because deprivation factors and nutrition could have been mitigated by overall situation in childhood, such as family relationship, home environment and etc., what eventually leaded to probably better perception of childhood conditions nowadays.
Regression analysis also revealed correlation between learning resources in childhood and agreeableness, where presence of educational opportunities, books and toys, own room and working place were associated with such characteristics as cooperativeness, compassion, trust and willingness to be helpful. We suppose, that opportunity to learn already in early life period develops communication skills, altruism and amiability. Starting already in early childhood education contributes to better cognitive abilities, what makes people more literate and accepting environment without prejudice. Despite the absence of expected associations between learning resources scale and openness to experience, our findings provide the evidence for significant role of educational tools and opportunities in childhood for future personality, consistent with past studies (Brooks-Gunn, et. al., 1997; Coley, 2002; Bradley & Corwyn, 2002; Duncan, et. al., 1994).
In overall, all obtained associations between factors of socioeconomic environment and personality traits in our retrospective study demonstrate important role of socioeconomic environment for personality development. Retrospective study may be the main important factor not only for absent associations between personality traits and such scales as deprivation and nutrition status, but also for all other obtained results.
Limitations and directions for future research
Our study tried to understand how financial situation in family in childhood affects personality traits of people grown up in such families. We applied socioeconomic environment definition, which incorporated most influential for personality development spheres, according to past findings. It helped us to elaborate The childhood conditions of life questionnaire, which contributed to better understanding the relation between socioeconomic environment in childhood and personality traits. Obtained results provide the evidence for our questionnaire to be non-exhaustive, because not all environmental factors were possible to be reflected. This fact leads to necessity of future investigations and consideration of other factors, which were not controlled in our work. Nevertheless, current study has a great advantage in comparison with past studies. This advantage is expressed through consideration of many spheres of childhood period (e. g. home environment, learning resources, nutrition status, deprivation, parenting styles) for personality in overall while past studies investigated impact of childhood period on different aspects of personality only, such as cognitive abilities problems (Brooks Gunn & Duncan, 1997), brain structures development (Hair et. al., 2015), self-regulation (e. g., Brooks-Gunn et. al., 1997; Duncan et. al., 1994; Evans, 2004), and developmental delays and learning disabilities (Dawson, 1991).
Additionally, retrospective research was the only possible and useful in the context of studying the impact of socioeconomic environment in childhood on personality traits. It allowed to obtain more knowledge about early life period impact on personality. Nevertheless, we realize the shortages of retrospective method and can not underestimate arising outcomes. The retrospective method used to study conditions of life in childhood could provoke incompletely objective perception of environmental aspects, which accompanied life of participants many years ago. We relied only on subjective perception of childhood conditions of life, what in fact could be misrepresented by many different factors, which were not under the research control. In order to improve findings in sphere of studying childhood and as maximum as possible to avoid factor of subjectivity, longitudinal study can help researchers in further investigations.
As concerns participants, our sample appeared to be specific the way it was non-deprived. The specificity of sample may be the reason for different from expected overall picture of associations between socioeconomic factors in childhood and personality traits. We expected, that along with high neuroticism the rates of nutrition status and deprivation would be same low as rates of learning resources, home environment and authoritarian parenting style. Despite our expectations, no significant associations were obtained with nutrition status scale and deprivation scale. This shortage of associations provide the ground for future investigations, where great emphasis worthy to be made on such factors of socioeconomic environment in childhood as nutrition status and deprivation of resources.
Conclusion
The main aim of the study was to find out how conditions of life in childhood affect personality in adulthood. According to the results, we demonstrated that socioeconomic conditions in childhood are associated with personality traits from five-factor model. We conclude that such factors as parenting styles, home environment and learning resources are the most influential for personality.
Current study allowed to shed light on relations between childhood conditions of life and personality traits of people coming from different socioeconomic environments. Important finding is concerned with parenting styles and personality traits. Inconsistencies in findings provide the ground for speculations about the reasons for obtained results. One may come from the perspective of sample type (non-deprived), which can be the main explanation for ambiguous results. Authoritative parenting style, same as authoritarian parenting style both were positively correlated with extraversion, what served the ground for confirmation of already existing ambivalence in results, concerned with extraversion and two opposite parenting styles, such as authoritative and authoritarian. We conclude, that studying parenting practices in Russia deserves much more attention and speculations, because results of the study provide the evidence for parenting style to be one of the most influential factors for personality.
Following existing scarcity in obtained results, it is possible that different findings could have been revealed in case of pronounced factors. One of notable factors appeared to be non-deprived sample. Inconsistent with researcher's expectations, prevail of other factors of unfavorable childhood conditions (e. g. authoritarian parenting style, poor learning resources) was not accompanied by bad alimentation or deprivation of resources. We suppose, that in case of well-expressed deprivation and bad alimentation our findings could have been less ambiguous and providing supportive results for past findings. Additionally, longitudinal study could be much more objective and valuable for researching early life periods in order to obtain scientifically proven findings for widening sphere of studying childhood role for personality.

Abstract
This study examined the relation between socioeconomic environment in childhood and personality traits in adulthood. Based on past findings (Adler et. al., 1993; Brooks-Gunn & Duncan, 1997), socioeconomic environment incorporated important for child development factors, such as learning resources, home environment, nutrition status, deprivation of resources and parenting styles. Data included Russian participants from 16-65 years-olds. Using canonical correlational analysis (CCA), the author found that socioeconomic conditions in childhood do affect personality in adulthood. Hierarchical regression analysis showed, that such factors as authoritative, authoritarian parenting styles, home environment and learning resources were particularly important for personality. Authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles were both associated with extraversion. Authoritative was also positively associated with agreeableness and conscientiousness. Home environment was positively associated with extraversion and negatively with agreeableness. Learning resources were also found to be influential for personality and were positively associated with agreeableness.
Key words: socioeconomic environment, SES, poverty, personality traits, childhood, aspects of personality
