Note. The possible range for negative mood and negative relationship perceptions is only from 1 to 5, and thus the test of the intercept’s significance is not meaningful. Weekday is a dichotomous variable scored 0 = Monday – Thursday, 1 = Friday – Sunday. Lagged DV refers to dependent variables on Day t-1. Total Both-Partner Reports, Victim-Only Reports, and Perpetrator-Only Reports are grand mean centered totals recorded for each couple during the 56-day diary period. Level 1 Verbal aggression is a dummy-coded categorical variable reflecting agreement in verbal aggression on Day t-1. Neither-Partner Reports serves as the reference group. Coefficients that differed significantly by gender are marked with subscripts. M = men; W = women; b = unstandardized regression coefficient; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval.
