Figure 1.

(A) Predicted waist circumference in Wave 2 at 1 SD above and below the mean for partner stress and actor negative marital quality in Wave 1 (controlling for all covariates). The minimum waist circumference was 25 and the maximum was 78; y axis represents the 20th to the 80th percentile. *p < .05. The significant simple slope (Line 3) represents the link between wives’ stress and husbands’ waist circumference among husbands who reported high negative marital quality. (B) Predicted waist circumference in Wave 2 at one standard deviation above and below the mean for partner stress and partner negative marital quality in Wave 1 (controlling for all covariates). The minimum waist circumference was 25 and maximum was 78; the y axis represents the 20th to the 80th percentile. *p < .05, ***p < .001. The significant simple slopes included Line 1 that represents the link between husbands’ stress and wives’ waist circumference among couples in which husbands reported high negative marital quality and Line 4 that represents the link between wives’ stress and husbands’ waist circumference among couples in which wives reported low negative marital quality.
