Standardized Beta Weights from Hierarchical Regression Models Linking Asymmetric Couple-level Pronoun Patterns to Demand-Withdraw Interaction (N = 150).

Model 1		Model 2		Model 3
Step 1		Step 1		Step 1
We/I-ratio asymmetry	.29**	We-talk asymmetry	−.04	We/I-ratio asymmetry	.17*
We/I-ratio total	−.02	I-talk asymmetry	−.49**	You-talk asymmetry	.45**
Demand-withdraw total	−.11	We-talk total	−.03	We/I-ratio total	−.02
		I-talk total	−.06	You-talk total	−.10
		Demand-withdraw total	−.01	Demand-withdraw total	.03
Step 2		Step 2		Step 2
We/I-ratio asymmetry	.26**	We-talk asymmetry	−.02	We/I-ratio asymmetry	.16*
We/I-ratio total	−.04	I-talk asymmetry	−.44**	You-talk asymmetry	.41**
Demand-withdraw total	.06	We-talk total	−.08	We/I-ratio total	−.04
Relationship duration	.26**	I-talk total	−.10	You-talk total	−.12
LSM	−.16†	Demand-withdraw total	.13	Demand-withdraw total	.14
		Relationship duration	.25**	Relationship duration	.20*
		LSM	−.11	LSM	−.13

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.
