Abstract
Introduction: Love experience comes from many personal factors. The present study aimed to predict the components of lovemaking based on Myers-Briggs personality traits.
Method: A sample of 152 married students was selected using available sampling method and participated in this study. Participants were asked to complete the Myers-Briggs Personality Types Questionnaire and Sternberg Triangular Love Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and stepwise regression.
Results: The results of the research showed that there is a positive correlation between personality traits, extroversion with intimacy and judgment with commitment (P <0.01). Also, based on the results of the Myers / Briggs Personality Types, extroversion personality type is the only predictor of love, which explains 6% of its distribution (p <0.01).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that personality traits can predict love in individuals.
