“…Because we analyzed couples, we used a series of actor-partner interdependence models (APIMs; Kenny, Kashy, & Cook, 2006). APIMs are a standard way to analyze dyadic data (Brunell et al, 2010;Brunell, Pilkington, & Webster, 2007;Brunell & Webster, 2013;Smith et al, 2014;Webster, Laurenceau, et al, 2015) and are used in aggression research (Crane, Testa, Derrick, & Leonard, 2014;Dickson et al, 2015;Parrott et al, 2012;Watkins, Maldonado, & DiLillo, 2014). APIMs estimate actor and partner effects simultaneously.…”
