神经质和亲和性人格特征对婚姻质量的影响是一致的，既影响个体自身的（行动者效应），也影响配偶的（伴侣效应）。然而，这项研究几乎完全依赖于人格的自我报告，尽管事实是，配偶评级在其他各种重要结果上比自我报告更有效。在一项针对300对中老年已婚夫妇的研究中，我们检验了配偶神经质和亲和性评分在预测自我报告的婚姻质量水平、在婚姻分歧任务中观察到的行为和抑郁症状方面的增量有效性。神经质和宜人性对这些结果都有预期的行动者和伴侣效应。配偶对这些特征的评价在评估行动者和伴侣对婚姻质量、婚姻行为和抑郁症状的影响时显示出递增的有效性。结果表明，配偶对性格的评价可能是对婚姻研究和临床评估中典型的自我报告依赖的重要补充。（PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2020 APA，版权所有）
The personality traits of neuroticism and agreeableness are consistently related to marital quality, influencing the individual's own (ie, actor effect) and the spouse's marital quality (ie, partner effect). However, this research has almost exclusively relied on self-reports of personality, despite the fact that spouse ratings have been found to have incremental validity over self-reports for a variety of other important outcomes. In a study of 300 middle-aged and older married couples, we examined the incremental validity of spouse ratings of neuroticism and agreeableness in predicting concurrent levels of self-reported marital quality, observations of behavior during a marital disagreement task, and depressive symptoms. Neuroticism and agreeableness had expected actor and partner effects on each of these outcomes. Spouse ratings of these traits demonstrated incremental validity in estimates of actor and partner effects on marital quality, marital behavior, and depressive symptoms. Results suggest that spouse ratings of personality may be important additions to the typical reliance on self-reports for research and clinical assessment in marriage.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
