Note. Models for Study 1 are based on 4396 observations nested within 82 couples. Models for Study 2 are based on 4547 observations nested within 117 couples. Models for Study 3 are based on 1855 observations nested within 79 couples. Models control for study day, age, and education in Studies 1–3, and average time spent together in Studies 1 and 2 (no data for Study 3). Coefficients <|0.01| were rounded to 0.01 and −0.01. Bold font denotes significant coefficients. R2m = marginal R squared (variance explained by fixed effects). R2c = conditional R squared (variance explained by fixed and random effects).
