ABSTRACT
Personality refers to relatively enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that distinguish individuals from one another. Personality characteristics affect their intimate relationships. Relationship satisfaction is important in adulthood. Satisfied individuals in long-term romantic relationships have been found to be happier, healthier, and have longer lives. The present study was conducted to find out the relationship between extraversion and general relationship satisfaction, using The Big Five Personality Test and Relationship Assessment Scale. The study was conducted on 100 subjects, out of which 40 were males and 60 were females. The sample was collected using snowball sampling, from different states of North India. Pearson’s correlation was computed. A positive correlation of 0.596 was found out, significant at 0.01 level. This may be attributed to the fact that extroverts are more enthusiastic, effective communicators and high on positive affect.
