Results: High harm avoidance and low self-directedness were associated with decreased marital adjustment and reduced sexual satisfaction.

According to the results of multiple mediating analyzes, mediating effect of marital adjustment was not significant in the relationship between personality traits and sexual satisfaction, while the mediating effect of sexual satisfaction was significant in the relationship between personality traits and marital adjustment. Namely, self-directedness predicted the marital adjustment through the mediating role of sexual satisfaction.
