Objectives: The resurgence in mainstream personality research over recent decades has provided substantive insight into the way in which dyad members' traits shape their relational experiences. Surprisingly, researchers are yet to examine these issues within coach-athlete contexts, and the present study sought to explore how Big Five traits predicted relationship commitment and relatedness (i.e., closeness, trust) for members of established coach-athlete dyads. Methods: Ninety one athletes (M(age) = 20.76, SD = 3.55) and their coaches (n = 91, M(age) = 37.33, SD = 10.17) reported their own Big Five as well as their relationship commitment and relatedness perceptions. Analyses were conducted using actor-partner interdependence models due to the nonindependence in coach and athlete data. Results: Accounting for demographic variables, analyses revealed that individuals' relationship perceptions were underpinned by their own and their partners' traits, as well as the extent to which their respective traits were concordant. In particular, greater dissimilarity between partners' extraversion and openness was associated with reduced commitment and relatedness for coaches and athletes. Positive actor effects emerged for commitment (i.e., agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion) and relatedness (i.e., agreeableness, extraversion), and partner effects revealed that dyad members reported favorable outcomes when their partner was highly conscientious and/or agreeable. The potential moderating effect of one's role in the dyad was also examined. Conclusions: Consistent with mainstream relationship settings, the Big Five model may provide important insight into dyadic functioning in coach-athlete contexts. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
