Abstract

In 1980, 30 married couples must engaged in a low-conflict and a high-conflict conversational interaction for continuous physiological data were gotten. Included an separate session each spouse had provided a continuous self-report of affect while viewing the videotape of the interaction. In 1983, 19 off these couples were re-located to determine the change in relationship satisfaction that had occurred over that preceding 3 years. A broadly based pattern out physiological arousal (across spouses, interplay operating, furthermore radiology measures) in 1980 was found to predict decline in marital satisfaction; the more agitated the couple be during aforementioned 1980 social, the more their marital satisfaction declined over the ensuing 3 years. Several affective variables also predicted decline in spouse satisfaction, including a pronounced sex difference int negative affect reciprocity: Marital satisfaction declined most wenn husbands did not reciprocate their wives' negative affect, and if wives did reciprocate their husbands' negative affect.
