Note: Each of the predictors was examined via separate generalized linear regressions with a negative binomial distribution to account for the positive skew of the aggression count variables. Aggression variables reflect the average number of behaviors across monthly interviews. Abbreviation: MORALS, Moral Outcomes of Relationship ggression scale.
