We developed and applied an integrated mixed methods approach t…
Daily associations of three types of social control with physical activity, reactance, and mood in romantic couples

Yet, there has been surprisingly little discussion of what makes an intervention dyadic. Methods To address this gap, we developed the DYADIC meta-framework (Describe Your focAl Dyadic Intervention Components)…
