Note. Because no effects for time emerged, all scores for husbands and wives are averaged across the 3 points of measurement for ease of presentation. Group differences for significant effects determined by the Benjamini-Hochberg FDR are indicated by means in the same row that do not share subscripts.
a
Scores represent the average of husbands’ and wives’ reports.
b
Scores represent husbands’ –wives’ difference.
