This study examined the association between congruence in the two partners' perceptions and their relationship satisfaction. We considered congruence between metaperception and partner-perception (meta-partner) and between metaperceptions and self-rated personality (meta-self). The participants were 236 heterosexual couples. Each couple member reported couple satisfaction and personality traits (in terms of self-perception, partner-perception, and metaperception). The actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) revealed that individuals who believed to be viewed by their partner as more agreeable, conscientious, or emotionally stable than their partner saw them, were less likely to have a partner who was satisfied with the relationship. When metaperceptions of "Agreeableness" were higher than self-perceptions, relationship satisfaction for both the actor and the partner was higher. These findings may help to guide therapeutic and clinical interventions aimed at promoting relationship satisfaction in the context of family and couple therapy.
本研究考察了伴侣双方感知的一致性与其关系满意度之间的关系。我们考虑了元感知与伴侣感知之间的一致性（元伴侣）和元感知与自我评估人格之间的一致性（元自我）。参与者为 236 对异性恋伴侣。每对伴侣中的一员都报告了伴侣满意度和人格特质（就自我感知、伴侣感知和元感知而言）。演员-伴侣相互依存模型（APIM）显示，与伴侣认为的相比，个体认为自己比伴侣更和蔼、尽责或情绪稳定，那么伴侣对关系的满意度就越低。当“和蔼可亲”的元感知高于自我感知时，演员和伴侣的关系满意度都会更高。这些发现可能有助于指导治疗和临床干预，以促进家庭和夫妻治疗背景下的关系满意度。
