About this study
The purpose of this study is to identify communication profiles of couples based on EMA and observational data. This aim will be addressed in two phases. In phase I, we will construct measures of empirically- and theoretically derived communication behaviors and patterns using our observational and EMA data. In Phase II, we will use these measures in latent profile analyses to identify distinct profiles of couples.
