Communication Behaviors as Predictors of Long-Term Dyadic Adjustment: Personality as a Moderator

چکیده
In this longitudinal study, we examined the moderating role of personality in the relationship between communication behaviors and long-term dyadic adjustment. A sample of 82 couples completed the NEO Five-Factor Inventory and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. These couples were also videotaped during a 15-minute problem-solving discussion. Approximately 2.5 years later, these couples completed again the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Results show that personality of both men and women moderates the relationship between communication behaviors of the partner and long-term dyadic adjustment of the individual. Women’s openness and men’s extraversion moderate the relationship between some communication behaviors and long-term dyadic adjustment Keywords—Communication Behavior, Couples, Dyadic Adjustment, Personality.
