Mapping out-of-school adolescents and youths in low- and middle-income countries
Education is a human right and a driver of development, but, is still not accessible for a vast number of adolescents and school-age-youths. Out-of-school adolescents and youth rates (SDG 4.3.1) in lower and middle-income countries have been at a virtual halt for almost a decade. Thus, there is an increasing need to understand geographic variation on accessibility and school attendance to aid in reducing inequalities in education. Here, the aim w…
Observed communication in couples two years after integrative and traditional behavioral couple therapy
To examine changes in observed communication after therapy termination in distressed couples from a randomized clinical trial.A total of 134 distressed couples were randomly assigned to either traditional behavioral couple therapy (TBCT; Jacobson & Margolin, 1979) or integrative behavioral couple therapy (IBCT; Jacobson & Christensen, 1998). Videotaped samples of each couple's interactions were coded from pre-therapy, post-therapy, and 2-year fol…
“You” and “I” need to talk about “us”
Links between pronoun use, relationship satisfaction, and observed behavior were examined during 2 problem-solving interactions in which 134 distressed and 48 nondistressed couples participated. Results supported hypotheses that distressed and nondistressed couples would use pronouns at significantly different rates, and that rates would also differ for partners depending on whose topic was being discussed. Actor–partner interdependence models (A…
Cross-Cultural Consistency of the Demand/Withdraw Interaction Pattern in Couples
In order to examine the cross-cultural consistency of several patterns of couple communication, 363 participants from four different countries (Brazil, Italy, Taiwan, and the United States) completed self-report measures about communication and satisfaction in their romantic relationships. Across countries, constructive communication was positively associated with relationship satisfaction, whereas demand/withdraw communication was negatively ass…

Self-Report and Observational Assessment of Couples' Conflict
The purpose of the study is to provide a cross-cultural replication of the correspondence between the Communication Patterns Questionnaire (CPQ) Constructive Communication Subscale and an observational measure of constructive communication. Eighty-one couples in two German cities completed the CPQ, a self-report measure of couples' conflictual communication, and participated in a 15-minute, videotaped interaction in which they discussed a current…
Predicting marital satisfaction from behavior
The concurrent and longitudinal associations between spousal communication and marital satisfaction were investigated using two systems of observation (rating and coding) and two statistical methods. A coding system and a rating system were used to assess the amount of positive, negative, and avoidant behavior exhibited by 30 couples engaged in a 15‐minute discussion about a marital problem. Change scores as well as regression methods were used t…
Perceived Power and Physical Violence in Marital Conflict
Relations among perceived marital power, the demand/withdraw interaction pattern, and self‐reports of the use of verbal aggression and physical violence were examined in a sample of 42 married couples. Couples completed several self‐report questionnaires and discussed two areas of marital dissatisfaction, one identified by the wife and one identified by the husband. These interactions were rated for the use of the demand/withdraw interaction patt…
Social influence techniques during marital conflict
The use of social influence techniques was examined in two studies of marital conflict. In each study, couples discussed two issues in counterbalanced order: one in which the husband wanted change and one in which the wife wanted change. Interactions were coded for the use of influence techniques. Evidence from both studies supported a social role explanation, such that roles based on who wanted change predicted the use of influence, whereas gend…

The longitudinal impact of demand and withdrawal during marital conflict.
System functioning in families with ADHD and non‐ADHD sons
Eighteen families with hyperactive 6‐ to 12‐year‐old sons and 19 families with normal 6‐ to 12‐year‐old sons were observed discussing childrearing concerns in mother‐father‐son triads. Parents also completed questionnaires assessing marital and parent‐child relationships. Observational ratings indicated that the hyperactive sons misbehaved more and exhibited less adaptive and age‐appropriate behavior than did the comparison sons. The parents' sel…
Gender and conflict structure in marital interaction
29 married couples engaged in 2 videotaped discussions: 1 in which the husband requested a change in the wife and 1 in which the wife requested a change in the husband. Conflict behavior was assessed by self-report and observer ratings. Neither conflict structure (who requested the change) nor gender was associated with the positivity or negativity of spouses' behavior. During discussions of husbands' issues, wives and husbands did not differ in …
Mothers and fathers interacting in dyads and triads with normal and hyperactive sons
Mother-son and father-son interactions of families with hyperactive and normal 6- to 12-year-old sons were observed in dyadic and triadic settings. There was more frequent coercion in families with hyperactive boys, especially when mothers and sons interacted in the dyadic setting. This mother-son acrimony carried over to the triadic context, wherein fathers exhibited a rescue-coercion pattern of behavior. Fathers increased, whereas mothers decre…

Gender and social structure in the demand/withdraw pattern of marital conflict
The Relationship Events Scale
The Relationship Events Scale is presented as a self-report measure of courtship progress, reflecting increasing intimacy, interdependence, and commitment in dating relationships. The scale consists of 19 items marking the occurrence of specific events in dating relationships. Items are grouped in six levels to form a Guttman scale. The reliability of the scale is demonstrated by concordance of scores of both members of 55 couples. The concurrent…
Assessment of Dysfunctional Interaction Patterns in Couples
Interaction patterns are repetitious communication sequences between members of a couple. When these patterns are dysfunctional, they are often the focus of clinical intervention. Yet pattern descriptions, while occurring frequently in the clinical literature, tend to be anecdotal and unsystematically studied. A questionnaire containing descriptions of 12 common interaction patterns was independently administered to both members of 55 undergradua…
