The purpose of the study is to provide a crosscultural replication of the correspondence between the Communication Patterns Questionnaire (CPQ) Constructive Communication Subscale and an observational measure of constructive communication. Eighty-one couples in two German cities completed the CPQ, a self-report measure of couples' conflictual communication, and participated in a 15-minute, videotaped interaction in which they discussed a current problem. A micro-analytic coding system, the Kategoriensystem fuer Partnerschaftliche Interaktion (KPI), was used to classify each unit of behavior in the videotaped interactions, Correlations were computed between subscales an the CPQ and summary categories on the KPI. The correlations were generally supportive of the CPQ as a measure of couples' communication. In particular the Constructive Communication Subscale of the CPQ and a summary measure of constructiveness on the KPI were correlated at .51.
