Zadovoljstvo brakom i osobine ličnosti partnera

Abstract

In this review, correlation between various personality traits and marital satisfaction will be discussed. Previous studies have shown that similarity in almost all of the researched traits, including five-factor model traits and some traits related to values and worldview, predicts greater marital satisfaction. An exception could be a similarity in conscientiousness, because it doesn't have a clear connection to marital satisfaction. When it comes to individual traits associated with happy marriage, higher agreeableness and emotional stability are the best predictors of marital happiness, while the dark triad traits are associated with unhappy marriage. Moreover, some possible moderation effects, including sex differences, will be analyzed.
