p < .01
***
p < .001; n/f: Behavior was not frequent enough to estimate reliability. PA = Psychological Abuse; DA = Distress-maintaining attributions; HO = Hostility; DY = Dysphoric Affect; WI = Withdrawal; RA = Relationship-Enhancing Attributions; AC = Acceptance; SD = Self-Disclosure; HM = Humor; PD = Constructive Problem Discussion.
