Level 1 Model: Couple Means and Prostate Cancer Survivor (PCS)-Spouse Incongruence of PCS Symptom Severity

	Symptom Severity
Parameter	Coefficient	SE
Fixed effects
Couple Mean (intercept)	2.61^***	0.07
Incongruence (slope)^a	0.26^**	0.09

	Variance Component	df

Random effects
Couple Mean	0.25^***	51
Incongruence	0.26^***	51

Positive incongruence scores indicate that the spouse is rating PCS symptom severity as higher than the PCS; negative incongruence scores indicate that the PCS is rating PCS symptom severity as higher than the spouse.
