Summarize The Four Models Of Time-1 Interaction Physiology

These four models were: baseline physiology at Time-1; interaction physiology at Time-1; a balance model based on the ratio of positivity to negativity at Time-1; and, cognitions about the relationship operationalized from our coding of the Oral History Interview. All four models were also able to predict change, operationalized as predicting Time-2 interaction, controlling for Time-1 interaction, that is, using a covariance regression analysis. The most powerful model in predicting change was the balance ratio model.(ProQuest) We have limited ourselves to the domain of emotion because investigators in the area of marital interaction have concluded from the data that emotional expression forms the best set of correlates of marital satisfaction. We have found emotional patterns of interaction predictive of marital stability or dissolution. To briefly summarize the results of these divorce predictions: in three separate longitudinal studies, it was possible to identify specific dysfunctional patterns of conflict resolution that predicted a couple's cascade toward divorce. The question of the etiology of the predictors of divorce is actually two questions. The first
These results show that the husband's negative-to-positive ratio at Time-1 was strongly predictive of the husband's contempt and domineering at Time-2, and of the wife's disgust and contempt at Time-2. These results show that, once again, husbands whose heart rates during the interaction were higher at Time-1 were significantly more contemptuous and belligerent at Time-2, and husbands whose blood was flowing faster during the interaction at Time-1 were significantly more contemptuous and domineering at
