Models run separately by gender, M denotes men, W women. Model 1 includes main effects of relationship quality, severity of impairment, and all controls. Model 2 adds interaction effect of relationship quality by highest quartile of impairment severity. All models adjusted for age, race, and education, number of children, marital status, neuroticism, agreeableness, family support, education, income, wealth, and characteristics of activities. Gender differences in coefficients were assessed by pooling male and female samples and estimating models with covariates and interaction terms interacted with gender… Statistically significant differences (p < .05) are denoted with the superscript a and marginally significant differences (p < .10) are denoted with superscript b.
