Path diagram of Model 1. t denotes the current conflict, t − 1 denotes the preceding conflict, T denotes all of the conflicts, and i represents the individual family. β_1w,i and β_1h,i represent the family-specific influences of child negative emotional or behavioral responding on the maternal and paternal manifest positivity, respectively; β_2w,i and β_2h,i represent the family-specific influences of child agentic responding on the maternal and paternal positive manifest variable, respectively. β_{Posw,t−1→Posw,t,i} represents the lag-1 autoregressive influence of wife positivity at the previous conflict (t − 1) on wife positivity during the conflict at time t for family i, β_{Posh,t−1→Posh,t,i} represents the influence of husband positivity at conflict t − 1 on husband positivity for family i at conflict t, β_{Posh,t−1→ Posw,t,i} represents the cross-regressive influence of husband positivity at conflict t − 1 on wife positivity for family i at conflict t, and β_{Posw,t−1→Posh,t,i} represents the cross-regressive influence of wife positivity at conflict t − 1 on husband positivity for family i at conflict t. The family-specific deviation terms (e.g., Error-Wife Positivity_it, Error-Husband Positivity_it) constitute the random effects components, and ${\sigma }_{e,\mathit{Positivity}}^2$ represents the variance of the random effects components.
