In a recent study, researchers made some fascinating findings about how “who we are” informs the friendships we hold. The study was based on the most popular personality construct in contemporary psychology, the Big 5 personality traits (特征); extraversion, or how much you love attention and interacting with people; neuroticism, or how easily worried you are by things; agreeableness, or how warm and kind you are; conscientiousness, or how careful you are about lifers many duties; and openness to experience, or how much you’re into discovering new things, whether they’re ideas, people, or places. For their study, the research team recruited 434 students. They took a personality questionnaire in the lab, then rated how satisfied they were with their friends and their life overall, and then researchers asked them to recommend half a dozen friends to rate their personality. Gathering these ratings together, the researchers found that openness to experience didn’t have anything to do with friendship satisfaction, at least in this study. Neuroticism was linked to lower satisfaction (probably because emotionally unstable people may be dramatic or hard to please, at least in my personal experience). But having high scores in the three remaining sunny traits-conscientiousness, extra version, and agreeableness-predicted higher friendship satisfaction. However, it’s a pretty intuitive (直觉的) result
