Interpersonal compatibility

Existing concepts are contradictory in many details, beginning with the central point—whether compatibility is caused by matching psychological parameters or by their complementarity.

The researches of married couples by Aleksandr Bukalov et al., have shown that the family relations submit to the laws, which are opened by socionics.

The following problems may be reasons for the absence of a theory of psychological compatibility: It has been suggested that MHC plays a role in the selection of potential mates, via olfaction.

It would therefore be beneficial to have evolved systems of recognizing individuals with different MHC genes and preferentially selecting them to breed with.

A study in 2005 on 58 test subjects confirmed that taking oral contraceptives made women prefer men with MHCs similar to their own.

[11][12] In 2008, Peter Donnelly and colleagues proposed that MHC is related to mating choice in some human populations.

Less complementarity is found in supervisees (low-status, low-powered), as they are normally guided by social norms which mold their behaviors.

Greater levels of complementarity are developed when people have known each other for a long time than when they are newly acquainted (Tracey, 2004; Markey, Kurtz, 2006 stated in Moskowitz, 2007).
