Notes. Results of individual-level linear mixed models (LMMs) and co-twin control models. Individual-level analyses examined associations between maladaptive personality (higher-order domains and lower-order facets), measured using the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 (PID-5), at age 34 and romantic relationship satisfaction, measured using a brief version of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), at age 34; individual-level analyses consider twins as individuals and were conducted in the full sample, N = 284 twins, and models included random intercepts at the twin-pair level to account for the interdependence of the twin data. Significant individual-level associations were followed up using co-twin control analyses to examine twin difference effects (co-twin control analyses were not conducted for nonsignificant individual-level associations, noted in the table with a dash); co-twin control analyses consider differences within a twin pair and were conducted in the sample of intact twin pairs, n = 210 twins (from 105 intact twin pairs), with random intercepts at the twin-pair level to account for the twin data. All models included participant age and sex as covariates.
