    Both members of 360 couples completed personality assessments and were interviewed about their relationship to test how their individual personalities and interactions shaped relationship quality and satisfaction. The findings showed that a woman's relationship happiness is predicted by her partner's low negative emotionality, high positive emotionality, and high constraint, whereas a man's relationship happiness is predicted only by his partner's low negative emotionality. Each partner's personality contributed independently to the relationship outcomes but did not interact synergistically.

    Personality Traits

    This research tested 6 models of the independent and interactive effects of stable
    personality

    traits on each partner's reports of relationship satisfaction and quality. Both

    members of 360 couples (N = 720) completed the Multidimensional

    Personality

    Questionnaire and were interviewed about their relationship. Findings show that a
    woman's

    relationship happiness is predicted by her partner's low Negative Emotionality,

    high Positive Emotionality, and high Constraint, whereas a man's relationship happiness is
    predicted only by his partner's low Negative Emotionality. Findings also show evidence of
    additive but not interactive effects: Each partner's personality contributed independently
    to relationship outcomes but not in a synergistic way. These results are discussed in relation
    to models that seek to integrate research on individual differences in
    with research on interpersonal processes in intimate relationships.
