이 연구는 성격특성들이 상호이해, 관계만족 및 관계개입에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해서 실시되었다. 연애 중인 58쌍의 연인들이 연구에 참여하였으며, 이들은 5개 성격특성(외향성, 호감성, 성실성, 정서적 안정성, 및 개방성)과 성역할 성향(남성성, 여성성, 전통적 성역할신념), 관계변인들(상호이해, 관계만족, 및 관계개입)을 측정하는 문항들에 응답하였다. 먼저 여러 가지 성격특성과 관계변인들의 관련성을 살펴본 결과, 연인들은 두 사람 모두 외향적일수록 그리고 호감성 수준이 높을수록 서로 대화를 많이 하고 서로를 이해한다고 생각하였으며, 전통적 성역할신념에서 서로 불일치할수록 관계에 더 불만족하였다. 다음으로 어떤 성격특성이 남성과 여성의 상호이해, 관계만족 및 관계개입 수준에 영향을 미치는지 살펴보기 위해서 중다회귀 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 남성들은 자신이 호감성 수준이 높고 남성적일수록 서로를 잘 이해한다고 지각하였으며 관계에 더 만족하였다. 반면에 여성들은 외향적일수록 서로를 잘 이해한다고 지각하였으며, 상대 남성이 정서적으로 안정적일수록 관계에 더 만족하고 관계에 더 개입하였다. 이외에 상대 남성의 여성성도 관계 개입에 영향을 미쳐서 여성들은 상대 남성이 여성적일수록 관계에 더 개입하였다.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of personality characteristics within couples on mutual comprehension, relationship satisfaction, and commitment. Participants were 58 dating couples. Each subject responded to the IPIP(extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, openness/ intelligence), sex-role(masculinity, femininity, gender eglitarianism scale), and relationship measures(mutual comprehension, relationship satisfaction, relationship commitment). First, we examined the relationships between personality and similarity and relationship measures. It turned out that couples' extraversion and agreeableness were correlated with mutual comprehension, and couples' gender eglitarianism index were correlated with relationship satisfaction. We did further analyses on personality factors that appeared to influence mutual comprehension, relationship satisfaction, and relationship commitment. The results were as follows: in case of men, agreeableness and masculinity played significant roles in mutual comprehension and relationship satisfaction. In case of women, extraversion was crucial to mutual comprehension and the neuroticism of partner was also important to relationship satisfaction and commitment.
