In the context of relationships, Neuroticism has been the most extensively researched of these traits (Bouchard. Lussier, & Sabourin, 1999; Caughlin, Huston, & Houts, 2000; Karney & Bradbury, 1995; Terman & Buttenwieser, 1935). Those wh It''s Not Just Who You Are, It''s How You Act Influences of Global and Contextualized Personality Traits on Relationship Satisfactiono are high in Neuroticism—anxious, irritable, and emotionally unstable—typically report being less satisfied in their romantic relationships than thosIt''s Not Just Who You Are, It''s How You Act Influences of Global and Contextualized Personality Traits on Relationship Satisfaction
e who are low in Neuroticism. Much less is known about how the other four factors of the FFM relate to romantic relationship quality, but preliminary Contextualized Personality and Relationships 1Running head: CONTEXTUALIZED PERSONALITY AND RELATIONSHIPSIt's Not Just Who You Are, It's How You Act:In It''s Not Just Who You Are, It''s How You Act Influences of Global and Contextualized Personality Traits on Relationship Satisfactionion (Botwin, Buss, & Shackelford, 1997; Donnellan, Conger, & Bryant, 2004; Watson, Hubbard, & Wiese, 2000).Global measures of personality are predictive of satisfaction not only in romantic relationships but in other domains of life as well. For example, the more agreeable people are on average, the It''s Not Just Who You Are, It''s How You Act Influences of Global and Contextualized Personality Traits on Relationship Satisfaction more satisfied they will be across relationships—with family, friends, and so on (Branje, van Lieshout. & van Aken, 2004; Graziano, Jensen-Campbell,It''s Not Just Who You Are, It''s How You Act Influences of Global and Contextualized Personality Traits on Relationship Satisfaction
& Hair, 1996; Jensen-Campbell, Gleason, Adams, & Malcolm, 2003).

For example. Heller, Watson, and Hies (2004) have shown that global life satisfaction is distinct from (though related to) context-spec It''s Not Just Who You Are, It''s How You Act Influences of Global and Contextualized Personality Traits on Relationship Satisfactionific satisfaction, such as work or relationship satisfaction.

Similarly, knowing what people’s personalities are like in the context of their romantic relationship should pre It''s Not Just Who You Are, It''s How You Act Influences of Global and Contextualized Personality Traits on Relationship Satisfactiondict relationship quality better than global measures of personality. For example, knowing how agreeable a person is with his or her romantic partnerIt''s Not Just Who You Are, It''s How You Act Influences of Global and Contextualized Personality Traits on Relationship Satisfaction
should provide unique predictive power about the quality of that person’s relationship above and beyond how agreeable that person is in general.In desGọi ngay
