Isn't conscientiousness a biologically driven psychological trait? I always assumed that to be the case. I don't think you can train conscientiousness or any other psychological trait for that matter. But I am no expert and would be delighted to be convinced otherwise.

That still does not imply it is somehow favoritism if parents have less conflicts with a kid that does not bully siblings, does homework and only needs to be asked to do chores to actually so them.

I know it is somewhat caricature. But "my brother is lazier and parents never have him do any chores so that there is less conflict" is not fairness despite there being no conflict.

Less conscientious kid means there have to be more conflict.
