Persönlichkeit und Partnerschaft

  • Chapter
Book cover Sozialpsychologie der Partnerschaft

Zusammenfassung

Eine Partnerschaft besteht aus zwei Personen, die nicht nur ihre Biografien und Lebenserfahrungen, sondern auch ihre überdauernden Eigenschaften—d. h. ihre Persönlichkeiten—in die Beziehung einbringen. Entstehung, Entwicklung, Gelingen oder Scheitern von Partnerschaften hängen deshalb nicht nur davon ab, wie Partner im Alltag miteinander umgehen, sondern auch davon, was sie als Persönlichkeit darstellen: Es macht einen Unterschied, ob ein Partner von Haus aus optimistisch, positiv eingestellt und zuverlässig ist—oder ob er häufig in seinen Stimmungen schwankt, ängstlich und zurückhaltend und dem Leben gegenüber negativ eingestellt ist. Solche und andere Persönlichkeitsmerkmale sind relativ stabil und haben nicht nur Auswirkungen auf einen selbst. In zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen ist ihre Bedeutung mindestens ebenso groß. Es ist deshalb erstaunlich, dass die PersönIichkeitspsychologie sich lange Zeit kaum für soziale Beziehungen interessierte. Erst in den letzten Jahren hat das Interesse wieder zugenommen. In diesem Kapitel wird erörtert, welche Auswirkungen die Persönlichkeit auf partnerschaftliche Beziehungen hat und umgekehrt. Spezifische Fragen sind: Wer hat einen Partner und wer hat keinen? Wer passt zu wem? Welche Persönlichkeitsmerkmale fördern die Stabilität und Zufriedenheit von Partnerschaften?
