It is also associated with adjustment difficulties including peer rejection, depression and maladaptive personality features.

The Socio-demographic schedule, General Health Questionnaire Relationship Satisfaction Scale NEO Five Factor Inventory, The Revised Conflict Tactics Scale and Checklist for Psychological Aggression were administered.
Personality characteristics like openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness were negatively correlated with all forms of aggression.

恋爱关系中的攻击性是导致分手、身体攻击、绑架、强奸甚至谋杀的一个持续因素。它还与包括同伴排斥、抑郁和适应不良人格特征在内的适应困难有关。本研究旨在探讨恋爱关系中攻击性与人格的相关性。
样本包括110名年龄在18至32岁之间的男性和女性参与者。采用了社会人口学调查表、一般健康问卷、关系满意度量表、大五人格问卷、修订后的冲突策略量表和心理攻击清单。
开放性、宜人性和尽责性等人格特征与所有形式的攻击性呈负相关。男性和女性在恋爱关系中的攻击性存在显著差异。关系满意度与神经质呈负相关。
这对于理解恋爱关系中的攻击模式具有启示意义，因此可能有助于制定针对此的干预计划。
