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.

有病态人格特征的男性关系中女性的人格特征

众所周知，涉及人格障碍患者的关系会给伴侣带来痛苦。然而，对其伴侣人格的研究却相对匮乏。本研究对与患有 ASPD、BPD 或 NPD 的男性交往的女性的人格特征进行了研究。我们发现，与正常女性样本相比，样本中的女性明显更合群。我们还进行了潜特征分析，发现有四种人格特征在合意性和自觉性方面一直较高，但在神经质和外向性方面有所不同。我们的研究结果表明，与被认为有人格障碍的男性交往的女性有几种不同的人格特征。这些信息可用于针对人格病理学的干预。此外，未来的研究还需要确定，女性的人格特质是因恋爱关系而改变，还是容易进入或留在适应不良的恋爱关系中。

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.
