This journal investigates the effects of one's personality,
emotions, and reasoning on one's behavior. The research was
conducted through observation of people with different
character traits and how they react in the society and at the
workplace. Using students and gauging them on the Differential
Emotions Scale, the researchers were able to detect attractions
between people of different behaviors and record their results.
The results showed that people tend to be more attracted and

6. associate with people who are indifferent to them in the context
that an outgoing person will most likely get attracted to a
person with different characteristics. The methodology used in
the research is based on experiments, and most of the
respondents were students. In this context, the results lack
generalizability to all the population of the world. However, the
journal is essential in contributing to the psychological and
personality attributes of a person that affect their behavior.

characteristics and Internet use - Findings from the

In this journal, respondents from different classes of life were
investigated and analyzed in relation to their personality and
internet use at home. The rationale for using the internet at
home was fetched in the context that, respondents who used
internet at home more and were with their families show a lot of
misunderstandings and discomfort towards one another. People
from different cultural backgrounds were analyzed, and their
responses recorded over time. The results showed that couples
who had similar personality characteristics were more prone to
avoiding one another and participating in internet use. The
journal fails to connect directly to the personality of the
participants since there were no proper personality
measurements measures used.

In this journal, the researchers investigated the impact of
personality traits on their agreeableness in the society. Two of
the various factors of personality investigated included
introversion and extraversion with analysis of twenty
individuals with such kind of personality traits. , the researchers
concluded that extroverts are more likeable in the society by
persons of all traits because of their humor and other outgoing
traits. In this context, the researchers concluded that introverted
persons are more likely to stay lonely and be unmarried for long
in their lives. However, this journal fails to capture all the
information of other traits that affect marriage bliss. This
journal contributes to the knowledge of personality and the
effects of personality on a personal life altogether.

This journal focused on the experiences of pleasure and sources
of pleasure from personal traits characteristics through
investigation of personality traits and the extent of marketing
and types of pleasures an individual drew from the workplace.
In the studies, participants with different types of pleasures
were analyzed, and results recorded. In this context, the results

8. of highly extroverted people showed less pleasure of working in
marketing positions and low outcomes of their results. This
contradicts the main thinking of people that extroverted people
has more differentiated success and happiness in social places.
This acts as a counterargument for the main psychological
ideas.
Winifred, B., & Terman, L. (2006, April 28). Personality
Characteristics Of Happily Married, Unhappily Married, And
Divorced Persons. Journal of Personality., 3(4), 290-311.
This journal answers the question of why marriages break and
why some families are happy while others have major
discomforts and low satisfaction. It was carried out through
analysis of 436 married couples and 116 divorced couples
across a region around Stanford University. The married
couples were given questionnaires to fill up which enabled the
researchers to classify them into two groups one containing
happily married couples and the other least happily married
couples. Through the use of variables, the researchers found low
or negligible correlation between the degree of happiness and
the degree of resemblance between the husband and the wife. In
this context, the research is convenient in bridging the gap of
knowledge relating to how people with semblance match and are
likely to make good relationship and marriage.
