Note. N = 72 couples. All estimates are unstandardized.

^aCorresponding coefficients constrained to be equal across partners.

^bEstimates are exponentiated for interpretation as rate ratios.

^cBetween-person covariates were average momentary negative affect and relationship quality over the diary period, patient age, and cancer stage (data not shown).

^†p < .10,

^*p < .05,
