Over-adaptation is defined as "Obeying the demands and expectations of the environment to a degree close to perfection and working hard to meet the expectations and a demands of the situation, even to the extent of forcibly suppressing internal desires" (ishizu, 2006). The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of over-adaptation on intimacy, ini order to identify its effect on establishing close relationships. Undergraduates (N = 369; 123 men and 246 women) participated in the study. Results indicated that "Self inhibition" and "Self doubt" in over-adaptation had a positive influence on intimacy.
