本研究通过Comrey人格量表（CPS）的选择项目来评估配偶之间性格相似性的变化，超过22年的婚姻。样本由耶路撒冷的138对职业夫妇组成。一项对57个CPS项目的分析显示，在调查的婚姻期间，7个Comrey维度中有5个维度有轻微的趋同，而一个维度有分歧。趋同和分化分别被确定为随着婚姻时间的延长，配偶之间极端差异的减少和增加。这些发现强调了在处理分类交配估计时，除了计算相关系数或比较随时间推移的平均值外，考虑实际婚姻长度散点图的必要性。对最近结婚的亚组中Comrey项目的配偶相关性的详细分析表明，可能的配偶选择是“自我-他人中心”。讨论了这种选择的含义。
This study examines the variation in similarity between spouses in personality, as assessed by selected items of the Comrey Personality Scales (CPS), over 22 years of marriage. The sample consisted of 138 professional couples in Jerusalem. An analysis of 57 CPS items showed mild convergence for five out of the seven Comrey dimensions over the marriage span investigated and divergence for one Comrey dimension. Convergence and divergence were identified as reduction and increase, respectively, in extreme differences between spouses with length of marriage. These findings underline the necessity of considering the actual scattergrams with marriage length when dealing with assortative mating estimates, in addition to calculating correlation coefficients or comparing means over time. A detailed analysis of spouse correlations for Comrey items in the most recently married subgroup suggests possible mate selection for “self-other centeredness.” Implications for such selection are discussed.
