Summary

Previous research has revealed that personality traits play a role in attraction and romantic compatibility (Ross, 2018). However, there is limited research when it comes to observing the role that introversion-extraversion plays in correlating with relationship satisfaction. The presented study investigates the relationship between introversion-extraversion, romantic preferences, and satisfaction within a relationship. We hypothesized that individuals in romantic relationships will feel more secure with someone of the opposite personality type. Participants consisted of Belmont Psychology students who were in relationships. Participants completed two measures, Eysenck’s Personality Inventory and Relationships Attachment Scale. The study utilizes a multiple regression study design. By looking at the impact that introversion-extraversion has on romantic preferences and security, our research aims to better understand how personality traits influence relationship satisfaction and emotional security within a relationship. Implications and future directions of these initial findings are discussed.
