Ispitivanje kompatibilnosti temperamenta kod parova u ljubavnim vezama
Testing Temperament Compatibility in Romantic Couples

Summary/Abstract: Fisher's model assumes four biologically determined temperament dimensions. Exploring their role in the initial stage of dating, compatibility of the two dimensions was established. More specifically, for individuals with the expressed dimension curious/energetic and/or cautious/social norm compliant, it is more likely that they will choose for their date a person whose dimension corresponds to their temperament dimension. For analytical/tough-minded individuals, it is more likely that they will choose a person whose dimension is prosocial/empathetic and vice versa (Fisher et al., 2010b). Starting from the above, the aim of this research was to test the temperament dimensions relationship on a sample of 276 couples who have been at least a year in a relationship. Correlation analyses of the results of couples who are in a relationship have confirmed the expected relations between their dimensions. A medium positive relationship was obtained for the dimension cautious/social norm compliant, while a low but significant positive correlation was confirmed for the dimension curious/energetic.
