Data collected from both members of a dyad provide abundant opportunities as well data analytic challenges. The Actor–Partner Interdependence Model (APIM; Kashy & Kenny, 2000) was developed conceptual framework for collecting and analyzing dyadic data, primarily by stressing the importance considering interdependence that exists between members. goal this paper is to detail how APIM can be implemented in research, its effects estimated using hierarchical linear modeling, including PROC...

Concerns about the veracity of psychological research have been growing. Many findings in science are based on studies with insufficient statistical power and nonrepresentative samples, or may otherwise be limited to specific, ungeneralizable settings populations. Crowdsourced research, a type large-scale collaboration which one more projects conducted across multiple lab sites, offers pragmatic solution these other current methodological challenges.

Testing a model suggested by J. Bowlby (1988), this study investigated how personal vulnerability (attachment ambivalence) interacts with perceptions of deficient spousal support before and during major life stressor (the transition to parenthood) predict pre-to-postnatal increases in depressive symptoms. Highly ambivalent women who entered parenthood perceiving either less or greater anger from their husbands experienced symptoms at 6 months postpartum. The associations between these 2...

As hypothesized, the interaction between women's degree of ambivalence their perceptions spousal support (assessed 6 weeks prior childbirth) predicted systematic changes in men's related factors over time (6 months postpartum). Specifically, if highly ambivalent (preoccupied) women entered parenthood perceiving lower...
Little is known about why some people experience greater temporal fluctuations of relationship perceptions over short periods time, or how these within individuals are associated with relational processes that can destabilize relationships.

To test hypothesis, 67 heterosexual couples involved long-term relationships completed daily measures intimacy, passion, sexual satisfaction for 21...

Preregistration has been lauded as one of the solutions to so-called ‘crisis confidence’ in social sciences and therefore gained popularity recent years. However, current guidelines for preregistration have developed primarily studies where new data will be collected. Yet, preregistering secondary analyses--- analyses are proposed existing data---is just important, given that researchers’ hypotheses may biased by their prior knowledge data. The need proper guidance this area is especially...
Two studies tested how romantic ideal standards and their flexibility are associated with relationship quality. In Study 1, individuals rated themselves partners on three dimensions: warmth/trustworthiness, vitality/attractiveness, status/resources. They then reported flexible ideals were each dimension closely current partner matched standards. Individuals who higher held that less perceived quality the more ideals. This latter effect was moderated by of two...
In this study, we assessed how attachment orientations and degree of relationship dependence influence individuals' own behavior their partners' in a stressful situation using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM; Kashy & Kenny, 2000). Dating couples were videotaped while female partner was waiting to engage an anxiety-provoking task. Raters then evaluated each on theoretically relevant dimensions. We found that more avoidantly attached individuals behaved negatively toward...

And whereas prior has emphasized women’s appreciation as signal interest, the focus here on how women evaluate prospective suitors’ humorous offerings. Two studies, including an ecologically valid study online dating...
