The present study evaluated the effectiveness of the TOGETHER program through a randomized controlled trial. A sample of community couples, predominantly African-American and low-income, was randomly assigned to either a no-intervention control group ( N = 147) or the intervention group ( N = 145) that participated in the program consisting of a 20-hour integrated relationship and financial education workshop and referrals to community services f…
Evaluation of the 14‐h together relationship and financial education program for couples
A 14‐h version of TOGETHER, a relationship and financial education program for couples (Author, 2015), was evaluated by comparing pre‐ and post‐intervention changes in psychological distress, relationship functioning, and financial management in couples that participated in this shorter 14‐h workshop (14HW) version, in the original 20‐h workshop (20HW) version, or in a control group that received no intervention. The total sample included 649 com…
Dyadic Coping in Couples: A Conceptual Integration and a Review of the Empirical Literature
The present review on dyadic coping (DC) aims at providing a critical integration of both the conceptual and empirical DC literature and overcoming the limitations of past reviews by (a) describing, comparing, and integrating all the DC models, (b) presenting and integrating findings from studies based on DC models, and (c) suggesting directions for further research. The DC models identified and compared include: The congruence model (Revenson, 1…

Emotion regulation dimensions and relationship satisfaction in clinical couples
The present study explored the relation between the multidimensional construct of emotion regulation and relationship satisfaction in 104 couples seeking couple or family therapy. Satisfaction was assessed via the Dyadic Satisfaction Subscale of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, whereas the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale was used to assess the 6 dimensions of emotion regulation (acceptance, goals, impulse, awareness, strategies, clarity). Si…
Immigration stress, exposure to traumatic life experiences, and problem drinking among first-generation immigrant Latino couples
This study explored the actor and partner effects of immigration stress and its different dimensions on problem drinking above and beyond the effects of exposure to traumatic life experiences in immigrant Latino couples. The study was guided by Lazarus and Folkman's stress theory and Bodenmann's systemic-transactional stress model for couples and used data collected from 104 couples living in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The main results…
Stress From Daily Hassles in Couples: Its Effects on Intradyadic Stress, Relationship Satisfaction, and Physical and Psychological Well‐Being
According to the systemic‐transactional stress model ( STM ; G. Bodenmann, European Review of Applied Psychology, 1997; 47: 137), extradyadic stress from daily hassles can have a negative impact on the individual psychological and physical health and the couple's relationship. This study is the first one to test the STM propositions in a model that includes both partners’ individual and relational outcomes simultaneously. The model also includes …

Using an actor–partner interdependence model approach, path model analysis simultaneously included bot…
Spirituality and Common Dyadic Coping: Protective Factors From Psychological Aggression in Latino Immigrant Couples
This study examined whether spirituality and dyadic coping protected partners from becoming psychologically aggressive toward each other using secondary, cross-sectional data from a sample of 104 Latino couples living in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The model tested was based on Bodenmann's Systemic Transactional model and incorporated an Actor-Partner Interdependence Model approach. Structural equation modeling results indicated that …
Female‐demand/male‐withdraw communication in Argentinian couples: A mediating factor between economic strain and relationship distress
Based on a dyadic version of R. D. Conger and colleagues' stress model, this study examined whether the demand/withdraw pattern in couples' communication mediates the association between partners' economic strain and their level of relationship distress. Data were from self‐report questionnaires completed by 144 heterosexual couples seeking psychotherapy at a community clinic in Argentina 3 years after a major national economic crisis. As hypothe…
Relationship satisfaction in Argentinean couples under economic strain: Gender differences in a dyadic stress model
This study tested a dyadic stress model that inter-partner psychological aggression and positive behaviors mediate the negative association between economic strain and couples' relationship satisfaction. Heterosexual couples at a large community clinic in Argentina (N = 144 couples) completed self-report questionnaires three years after the initiation of a major economic crisis. Path analytic results indicated that gender differences - greater ma…
