A Pilot Study Examining the Effectiveness of Gottman Method Couples Therapy Over Treatment-as-Usual Approaches for Treating Couples Dealing with Infidelity
The present randomized control trial examined the effectiveness of Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) over treatment-as-usual (TAU) approaches for couples presenting for therapy following the discovery of infidelity. Forty-nine couples participated in this trial and were randomized to either a GMCT or TAU control group, with 19 completing all pre- and post-treatment assessments. Results showed that GMCT was globally more effective in facilitat…
Father’s Involvement When Bringing Baby Home
The goal of the present research was to test the efficacy of the Bringing Baby Home couple-focused psychoeducational program for promoting father involvement and related satisfaction. A randomized clinical trial design was used to randomly assign 136 pregnant couples to either an intervention or control group. Father involvement post-intervention was assessed through self-report of engagement in parenting tasks. Intent-to-treat analysis of covari…

Bringing baby home together
The transition to parenthood brings with it challenges to a couple's relationship, which in turn are likely to negatively impact coparenting and overall family process. The focus of the current study was to examine the effects of the Bringing Baby Home psycho-educational intervention at the first postintervention follow-up for promoting positive coparenting and family process within the mother-father-baby family system. Expectant parents (N = 181…
The Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Program
Field combat stress clinics and research have identified the signature event that precedes thoughts of suicide and homicide in combat soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan: a distressing personal relationship event with a stateside partner. In response to this alarming information, we have identified critical factors and precipitating incidents as well as critical social skills that form the basis for changing communication between soldiers and their …
Sampling, Experimental Control, and Generalizability in the Study of Marital Process Models
Dysfunctional Marital Conflict and Everyday Marital Interaction
Fifty newlywed couples participated in a conflict dis-cussion and an unstructured, seminatural interaction. This paper ex-plores the relationship between these two interactions. Two sets of hypotheses were tested. One hypothesis was derived from a traditional, personality theory model that would predict consistency in behavior across the two settings. The other hypothesis was derived from Wile’s suggestion that conflict is the result of unspoken …

Marital Sentiment Override
This study investigated the effects of spouses' global sentiments (i.e., their marital bonds) on spouses' perceptions of their partners' specific affects. Ninety-six newlywed couples participated in the study. Positive or negative sentiment override was indicated when spouse ratings of specific affects differed from the coding of objective coders. For both positive affect and low-intensity negative affect, wives' marital bond predicted their rati…
Facial Expressions During Marital Conflict
A sample of 79 married couples were studied in 1983 in our laboratory engaging in a marital conflict discussion. Their facial expressions were coded from video tape using the Ekman and Friesen (1978) Emotion Facial Affect Coding System. This article describes the validity of this coding in several measurement domains: (a) the couple's perception of the relationship; (b) the prediction of the number of months of marital separation within the next …
What the study of relationships has to say about emotion research
Following a brief overview of the history of the study of relationships and marital problems, the author challenges the widespread conclusion from prior research that partners in a distressed marriage are simply more negative toward one another than partners in non-distressed relationships (as well as the implication that it is sufficient to encourage couples in conflictual relationships to be more positive to each other). The author summarizes a…
The baby and the marriage
This longitudinal study identified factors of couples* marital friendship in the beginning months of marriage that predicted stability versus decline in marital satisfaction over the transition to parenthood.Newly wed couples (N = 130) were followed longitudinally for 6 years, Forty-three couples became parents, and 39 childless couples served as a control group.Couples were interviewed about the history and philosophy of their relationship as ne…
Attachment, Emotional Regulation, and the Function of Marital Violence

Closeness in Young Adult Sibling Relationships
What aspects of the relationships of young adult siblings are related to closeness or distance? This study takes a process approach to answering this question, contrasting it with the status approach of family structure variables. Close and distant sibling pairs were compared on physiological variables and specific aspects of warmth, con‐flict, and power during two conversations ‐ one on enjoyable topics and one on topics of disagreement. While t…
Battering and the male rejection of influence from women
The propensity of men to reject influence from women and individual differences in this tendency were examined in the present report as potentially related to two types of domestically violent men. We operationalized rejection of influence in sequential analyses of emotional behavior during a 15 min marital interaction. In our previous research, we identified two types of batterers: Type-1, whose heart rates decelerated below baseline during the …

Marital interaction
Thirty married couples were studied during naturalistic interactions to determine the extent to which variation in marital satisfaction could be accounted for by physiological and affective patterns between and within spouses. The authors hypothesized that (a) compared to nondistressed couples' interactions, distressed couples' interactions would show greater physiological interrelatedness or "linkage," more negative affect, and more reciprocity …

Patterns of marital conflict predict children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors
Results are reported of a longitudinal study on how marital interaction affects children. Observational assessments of marital interaction during conflict resolution obtained when children were 5 years old predicted teachers ' ratings of internalizing and externalizing behaviors when the children were 8 years old. Two distinct and uncorrelated marital interaction patterns were related to specific forms of child outcomes. The Mutually Hostile patt…

Physiological and affective predictors of change in relationship satisfaction
In 1980, 30 married couples had engaged in a low-conflict and a high-conflict conversational interaction while continuous physiological data were obtained. In a separate session each spouse had provided a continuous self-report of affect while viewing the videotape of the interaction. In 1983, 19 of these couples were re-located to determine the change in relationship satisfaction that had occurred over the preceding 3 years. A broadly based patt…
Behavior exchange theory and marital decision making
Distressed and nondistressed couples in two studies made decisions on highland low-conflict tasks. They continuously coded both the intended impact of their own behavior and the impact of their spouse's behavior. In Study 1 distressed couples did not differ from nondistressed couples on how they intended their behavior to be received. However, the behavior of distressed spouses was actually received more negatively by their partners than the beha…

Communicative Competence in the Nonverbal Behavior of Married Couples
The present study investigated the hypothesis that spouses' marital satisfaction is related to their ability to understand each other's nonverbal communication. Twenty-one couples rated their marital satisfaction and then participated in a task designed to measure nonverbal communicative competence independent of verbal competence. Twenty-one additional husbands and wives then viewed videotapes of opposite-sexed partners in the first group and at…

Detecting cyclicity in social interaction
This article reviews spectral and cross-spectral analytic methods for detecting cyclicity, cross-cyclicity, and lead-lag relationships in continuous data derived from the observation of dyadic interaction. It is found that lead-lag relationships can be assessed using the phase spectrum. Spectral analytic methods are then generalized to categorical observational data, and it is shown that by these methods one can derive the classical information t…

Linkages between parent—child interaction and conversations of friends
In this study we examined how mothers' and fathers' parenting behavior during parent—child interaction related to children's ability to successfully interact with peers. Children's ability to engage in coordinated interaction, and their negativity and positivity towards peers were examined. Observational data were collected on 56 families in both parent—child and peer interaction settings. Results suggested that father's emotional volatility was …
Temporal Form
This paper suggests that we are engaged in a search for a new scientific language for describing relationships, which represents a move away from thought dominated by the analysis of the individual character. The concept of temporalform is suggested as a new basis for describing relationships. The idea is that, like an improvisational jazz group, a relationship consists of the temporal forms that are created when two people are together. The impl…

Negative reciprocity and communication in couples with a violent husband.
To better understand the relationship dynamics of couples experiencing husband-to-wife violence, the interaction patterns of 29 domestically violent (DV), 15 distressed but nonviolent (DNV), and 13 happily married (HM) couples were examined using the Marital Interaction Coding System and lag sequential analyses. DV spouses were generally more often aversive and less often facilitative than nonviolent couples. DV couples were significantly more li…

Long-term marriage
A theory of marital dissolution and stability.
Research is presented on the prospective longitudinal prediction of marital dissolution. First, a cascade toward marital dissolution is described. Second, the cascade is predicted with variables from a balance theory of marriage. Third, there are process and perception (the distance and isolation cascades) cascades related to the cascade toward dissolution. The importance of "flooding " is discussed, as well as a mechanism through which negative …
