Note. LSM = Language style matching. Dependent variable is directional demand-withdraw (spouse-demand/patient-withdraw minus patient-demand/spouse-withdraw). Relationship duration and language style matching, identified in preliminary analyses as significant correlates of directional demand-withdraw, served as additional covariates in the regression models.
