来自42个异性恋，46个同性恋伴侣，和33个女同性恋夫妇的数据被用来评估冲突和支持讨论的关系质量的贡献。夫妇们完成了问卷调查，录像讨论被编码为消极和积极行为的水平。相关性表明，行为与关系质量在预期的方向。分层线性模型分析评估的独特贡献的个人和二元行为的关系质量的变化。研究结果表明，除了冲突任务中的个体消极行为的贡献外，冲突任务中的二元积极行为，支持任务中的个体积极行为和感知帮助变量解释了关系质量的未解释方差。不同类型的夫妇在行为水平或对关系质量的贡献上没有差异。
Data from 42 heterosexual, 46 gay mate, and 33 lesbian couples were used to assess the contribution of conflict and support discussions to relationship quality. Couples completed questionnaires, and videotaped discussions were coded for levels of negative and positive behaviors. Correlations showed that behaviors were associated with relationship quality in the expected directions. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses assessed the unique contributions of individual and dyadic behaviors to the variability of relationship quality. The findings indicated that, beyond the contribution of individual negative behaviors in the conflict task, the variables of dyadic positive behaviors in the conflict task, individual positive behaviors in the support task, and perceived help accounted for unexplained variance in relationship quality. There were no differences between types of couples on levels of behaviors or on their contributions to relationship quality.
