摘要：Personality is one of the most important psychological variables explored in understanding the underlying dynamics of marital relationships. Thus, this study aims to identify the relationships between personality and marital satisfaction using specific culture. This study is apart from a larger study that explored the relationships between psychological factors relating to marital satisfaction. This study was carried out adapting the explorative research design using survey and questionnaires. Cluster sampling from 10 areas within Lembah Klang were executed to gain respondents. A number of 578 married urban Malay individuals residing in Lembah Klang voluntarily participated in this study. Questionnaires consisted of questions relating to personal background, personality and marital satisfaction were distributed by trained enumerators and later collected for analysis. Results show that personality factor specifically agreeableness (? = 0.30*, k < 0.05), conscientiousness (? = 0.16*, k < 0.05) and neurotism (? = -0.12*, k < 0.05) do influence marital satisfaction. This research implies that further in depth studies in the area of marital satisfaction are much needed to explore specifically on personality. A more detailed study focussing on the psychology of marital relationships, namely personality, would be an enormous contribution to the field of psychology specifically on marital relationships.
