Note: N=92. B-unstandardized coefficients. M-predicted mean value from the model; SE-standard error of the predicted value. Mutilevel modeling was used to conduct all analyses. The range of daily relationship evaluation scale is [1, 9]; the range of daily adaptation and life satisfaction scale is [1, 7]; the range of daily positive and negative emotion scale is [0, 4]; the range of T2 relationship and life satisfaction scale is [1, 7]. The pre-test global perceived responsiveness was controlled in all models. In addition, pre-tested relationship evaluation, sex, relationship type, race and family income were controlled when daily relationship evaluation was tested; relationship type and family income were controlled when daily adaptation was tested; race and relationship duration were controlled when daily negative emotion was tested; race and family income were controlled when daily positive emotion was tested; family income, relationship duration and pre-tested life satisfaction were controlled when daily life satisfaction was predicted; age and T1 relationship satisfaction were controlled when T2 relationship satisfaction were tested; age and T1 life satisfaction were controlled when T2 life satisfaction were tested.
