The Contribution of Big Five Personality Traits as Determinants Marital Adjustment in Wives Married 1-5 Years
Abstract
Differences in perspectives and habits trigger conflicts early in marriage. This situation necessitates marital adjustment, and personality serves as a determining factor in the success of such adjustment. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the correlation between the Big Five personality traits and marital adjustment among wives who have been married for 1–5 years in Salatiga. This study employs a correlational approach using accidental sampling. The results indicate that the traits of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience have a positive correlation with marital adjustment, whereas the trait of neuroticism has a negative correlation with marital adjustment. This study demonstrates that personality traits exert a significant influence on an individual’s attitude during the process of marital adjustment.
