Solutions

Expert Solution

As per Back et al.,(2011) Personality traits contribute to developing relationships.
Research by Ackerman & Corretti (2015) states how behavior and interpersonal motives of an indivisual help with buidling relationships. Academics results were lowered in individuals when roomates were paired up with different personality traits and when studnets were paired with similar personality traits the number in room changes and residence hall damage decreased by 65% and 35% respectively, according to a study named Introduction to type and college.

If the roomates share different personlity types they may be annoyed with each other personalities when commonalities are not found. For example one may be aggresive while the other is a whiner, one may like music while the other one doesn't. This may result in conflicts between the roommates and they may end up sharing a bad relationship with each other. If the roommates share a common personality trait like liking similar kind of music or sport or like shopping then they will end up bondng with each other well and form a good relationship.

Friedman and Rosenman (1974) classified people into two categories: Type A personalities and Type B personalities. Type A's are hard-driving, competitive, and ambitious. Type B's are more relaxed, easy going people. One factor that differentiates these two groups is the chronically high level of frustration experienced by Type A's, especially when doing statistical analyses. (Oftentimes Type A's have been known to suffer from numerical alexithymia.) To verify this aspect separate samples of Type A's and Type B's are obtained. The following frustration scores were...
