Openness and Relationships.pdf

Kim hill

Openness seems to be beneficial in people’s relationships. Because openness involves a willingness to consider that one might be wrong and being open to other views, people who are more open tolerate differences of opinion better than those who are less open. So, open people have fewer conflicts with other people than less open people do. Studies have also shown that people who are high in openness tend to be less prejudiced than people low in openness. In light of all of this, it’s not surprising that open people tend to report that their relationships with other people are more satisfying. They tend to get along with people better, and other people tend to like them more.
