How Early Experiences Affect Personality and Performance in Intimate Relationships

Abstract

There are five parts of the paper. Introduction gives a rough idea of what will be covered and what it all relates to and summarizes it. The second part is the relationship between early experiences and character formation, stating in segments that if a child is not well protected and treated in childhood, he or she may face many problems in future life in terms of psychological or social functioning, as well as describing how this can be a trigger for many illnesses. The third section talks about the link between personality traits and intimate relationships, such as the fact that more responsible partners can maintain longer marital relationships and feel happier. The fourth section describes the relationship between personality and violence, focusing on IPV and domestic violence. As mentioned in the second section, some people with personality disorders are violent to some degree and are used to solving problems with violence. The last conclusion is the thoughts that have been provoked by so many articles and research.
