Abstract
Relationships involving people with personality disorders are known to be distressing to partners. There is a relative dearth of research, however, into the personalities of their partners. The current study examines the personality profiles of women in relationships with men with ASPD, BPD, or NPD.
We found that the sample was significantly more agreeable than a normative sample of women. We also conducted a latent profile analysis found four personality profiles that are consistently high on agreeableness and conscientiousness but vary on neuroticism and extraversion.
Our results suggest that that there are several distinct personality profiles of women who find themselves in a relationship with men perceived to have PDs. This information can be used to inform interventions addressing personality pathology. In addition, future research is needed to determine if the womens' personality traits were changed by the relationship or were a vulnerability to entering or staying in maladaptive relationships.
期刊介绍：
Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
