Associations between relationship power and personality traits differ across relationship-types [RR Draft]
Power is fundamental to romantic relationships; Relationship Power (RP) affects personal andrelationship outcomes. The current goals are to examine a) associations between RP and personality and Masculinity/Femininity, and b) effect relationship context (same-sex or opposite-sex relationship) has on these associations. We will run multiple regressions, separately, for each personality, Masculinity, and Femininity trait to evaluate a) the main effect on RP controlling forage covariates, and b) the interaction effect between the respective trait and relationship-type on RP. Significant associations between the 7 traits under investigation and RP would confirm the hypotheses. Significance of the interaction term for personality showing greater association in same-sex couples, as well as significance of mas/fem showing greater associations with RP inopposite-sex couples would confirm the hypotheses regarding the importance of relationship context.
