Your partner’s personality can influence your life in all sorts of ways. For example, studies have shown that a conscientious partner is good for your health. Our latest study shows that they are also good for your quality of life. Personality reflects a person’s characteristic way of thinking, feeling and behaving. Psychologists tend to examine personality across five key traits: extroversion, openness to experiences, conscientiousness, emotional stability and agreeableness. Typically, these traits are measured using questionnaires that help psychologists build up a profile of a person’s personality. |
성실성이 높은 파트너는 당신의 건강에 좋다. 삶의 질 (QOL)에도 좋다고 연구 결과 나타났다. |
Personality characteristics can have a strong impact on health, even influencing how long you live. Research shows that the more conscientious a person is, the longer they live. Conscientiousness is defined by high levels of self-discipline. Because conscientious people are more organised and careful they are more likely to lead healthier lives than their less conscientious peers. For instance, they may be more likely to follow their doctor’s advice, eat more healthily and do more exercise. It’s not just your own personality that can strongly influence your health, though – your partner’s can too. A US study examined the relationship between partner conscientiousness and health ratings in 2,203 older couples. They found that husbands’ conscientiousness influenced wives’ health, and wives’ conscientiousness influenced husbands’ health. The same findings were also replicated in a more recent study. These results showed something particularly interesting: conscientiousness had a compensatory effect, meaning that having a more conscientious spouse predicted better health, even after taking into account a participant’s own conscientiousness. A finding that the researchers described as “compensatory conscientiousness”. |
성격특성은 수명에도 큰 연관이 있다. 성실성은 자기규율self-discipline과 연관이 깊다. 이들은 의사 조언을 잘 따르고, 더 건강하게 먹으며, 운동도 더 많이 한다. 그러나 당신 자체의 성격보다 파트너의 성격도 중요하다. 2203 고령 커플을 조사한 결과, 남편의 성실성이 아내의 건강에 영향을 주었으며, 반대도 마찬가지이다. 이 결과는 최근 연구에서도 같은 결과로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과들은 성실성이 보완효과(compensatory effect)를 가진다고 보여준다. 당사자의 성실성을 고려한다 하더라도, 더 성실한 배우자를 가지는 것이 더 나은 건강을 예측했다. |
A better quality of life We recently carried out a study to see if we could find similar effects in younger adults. We also wanted to see if a person’s conscientiousness influenced their partner’s quality of life. The term “quality of life” reflects a person’s satisfaction with their life, including physical health, psychological state and social relationships. We talked to 182 romantically involved couples, asking each person to complete a questionnaire. The participants were aged from 18 to 78, with an average age of 36. To qualify to take part, couples had to have been in a relationship for at least six months. Just under half the sample was married and most couples lived together. On average, the couples had been together for just over ten years. Each person completed the questionnaire separately from their partner so that they could not discuss their answers. The survey questions let us measure their personality, using the ten-item personality inventory and ask them questions about their quality of life using questions developed by the World Health Organisation. Our analysis showed that an individual’s own level of conscientiousness was related to their quality of life, with participants who had higher levels of conscientiousness reporting a better quality of life. We also found that people who had partners with higher levels of conscientiousness also reported having a better quality of life. This finding was true for both men and women. |
더 좋은 삶의 질 개인 당사자의 성실도가 그들의 삶의 질에 연관되어 있었고, 더 높은 성실성을 가진 사람들이 더 높은 삶의 만족도를 리포트했다. 또, 높은 성실도를 가진 짝을 가진 사람들이 더 나은 삶의 질을 가지고 있는 것으로 보고되었다. 이는 남녀 모두에게 적용되는 발견이었다. |
Our findings raise the question of how a person’s conscientiousness influences their partner’s health. It is likely that partners high in conscientiousness help to create an environment that leads to greater health. For instance, a conscientious partner likes to plan and be organised and so they may provide their partners with useful health reminders, such as to take medication or attend a doctor’s appointment. Conscientious partners are also dependable and so are likely to be good providers of social support for their partner. These findings show that our partner’s personality is important for our health, so choose your life partner carefully. |
이 결과는 다음과 같은 질문을 가져온다. 한 사람의 성실도가 그들의 파트너의 건강에 영향을 주는지. 성실도 높은 파트너는 더 나은 건강으로 이끄는 환경을 조성하는 것을 도울 수 있다. 예를 들어, 성실한 파트너는 계획하고 정리하며, 이를 통해 그들의 파트너에게 유용한 건강 리마인더를 제공할 수 있다. 예를 들면 약 복용에 대해, 병원에 가서 진료를 받으라는 것에 대해. 성실한 파트너는 또, 의지할만하고(dependable) 그들의 파트너를 위해 사회적인 서포트를 잘 제공하는 경향이 있다. |
