本研究利用大量具有代表性的年轻人样本的纵向数据，探讨了稳定的人格特质对恋爱关系的影响。关系体验（质量、冲突和虐待）随着时间的推移显示出相对较小的平均水平变化，并且即使在不同的关系伙伴之间，排名顺序也具有显着的稳定性。先前的人格特质（18 岁时评估）可预测 26 岁时的关系经历以及 21 至 26 岁时关系经历的变化。相反，关系经历也可预测性格的变化。重要的是，这些发现普遍适用于关系伙伴，这表明有些人在人际关系中往往感到快乐（或不快乐），这在一定程度上是由于稳定的个体性格差异。讨论的重点是研究结果的更广泛含义，特别是关系研究人员需要考虑人格对于关系兴盛或失败的重要性，以及人格研究人员需要考虑关系经历对个人人格发展的影响。
The present study examined the influence of stable personality traits on romantic relationships using longitudinal data on a large, representative sample of young adults. Relationship experiences (quality, conflict, and abuse) showed relatively small mean-level changes over time and significant levels of rank-order stability, even across different relationship partners. Antecedent personality traits (assessed at age 18) predicted relationship experiences at age 26 and change in relationship experiences from age 21 to 26. Conversely, relationship experiences also predicted change in personality. Importantly, these findings generally held across relationship partners, suggesting that some people tend to be generally happy (or unhappy) across relationships, and this is due, in part, to stable individual differences in personality. Discussion focuses on the broader implications of the findings, in particular the need for relationship researchers to consider the importance of personality for why relationships thrive or fail and the need for personality researchers to consider the impact of relationship experiences on intraindividual personality development.
