Abstract

[The aim of the current chapter is to discuss how personality and relationship processes (i.e., relationship experiences and outcomes) may interact to influence physical and mental health across the lifespan. We begin with a discussion of how our romantic relationships contribute to our health and how two prominent personality theories (i.e., attachment theory and the Big Five model) can be used to predict some of the relationship outcomes and behaviours that are important in this connection. Next, we showcase some of the prominent models enabling researchers to characterize how personality and relationship factors can work together to influence health. We close with a discussion of future directions that will help to guide researchers who hope to examine the combined impact that personality and relationships have on health.]
