Neuroticism and relationship quality: A meta-analytic review.

Regardless of participant age, length of relationship, country of origin, and numerous other factors, prior research has established a robust negative association between neuroticism and relationship quality. As so much has already been studied on the topic of neuroticism and relationship quality, this study explored the association between neuroticism and relationship quality using meta-analytic methodology, examined moderators, and outlined future studies for the field. After searching through databases and the references of included studies, 148 published studies were identified that reported an effect size between neuroticism and relationship quality.

A First Glimpse at the Latent Structure of Sleep Valuation Using a Sleep Valuation Item Bank.

Introduction: Sleep valuation is the relative worth individuals place on sleep. Our prior study using a Sleep Valuation Item Bank (SVIB) showed that sleep valuation relates to age, gender, and health status. In this study, the psychometric properties of the SVIB and its latent factor structure were explored.

Methods: Participants were American Indians with type 2 diabetes enrolled in a clinical trial of losartan versus placebo.
