Note. Values given under Wife and Husband are correlation coefficients. Cohen’s q is used as an effect size index of wives’ r – husbands’ r. The Z-transformed Pearson-Filon statistic (ZPF) is given to determine the significant difference between these correlations, n = 187 for both wives and husbands.
