Note. Actor and partner communal coping variables were grand-mean centered and simultaneously entered into models. Coefficients presented in the table are unstandardized.

ACC = actor communal coping; PCC = partner communal coping; CM = couple-member; Coeff = coefficient; SE = standard error; CI = 95% confidence interval
