Personality and Perception in Husband Wife Conflicts
Bean, Frank D.; Kerckhoff, Alan C.
Journal of Marriage and the Family, 33, 2, 351-359, May 71

Among the results were that: (1) personality characteristics were more predictive of conflict behavior for wives while person perception characteristics were more predictive for husbands; and (2) both sexes tended to exhibit conflict behavior.
