Abstract
Quality of marriage is a subjective evaluation of one’s marriage relationship. One of
the determinants of the quality of marriage was personality. The types of personality will
influence the quality of the marital relationship. Hence, this study aims to determine the
relationship between personality traits and marital satisfaction among married people in
Selangor. Respondents of this study were 110 married people in urban, suburban and rural
areas in Selangor. This study used a set of questionnaires to get the data using three
instruments: Personality Big Five Factor Inventory (BFI), Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale
(KMSS), and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). The overall results showed that married people
in the urban area had the highest level of openness to experience (M=33.28) while married
people in the rural area had the highest level of consensus on marital satisfaction (M=53.00).
Meanwhile, married people in the urban area had the highest score for quality of marriage on
conflict management level (M=1972) compared to suburban and rural areas. The findings also
indicated that there are significant relationships between personality types and marital
satisfaction among married people in urban, suburban and rural areas in Selangor. The
implication of the study has been discussed in the context of a marriage relationship and the
personality types of people.
