Note. Daily MR is the within-wave, person-centered rating of marital relationship, calculated by subtracting individual’s wave-average score from their daily scores (AMRtji − AMR.ji). Effects involving Daily MR indicate within-family effects of daily MR on PCR. Wave-level MR is individuals’ wave-centered score of marital relationship, calculated by subtracting each person’s total average across all waves of data from each person’s wave average (AMR.ji − AMR..i). Effects involving wave-level MR indicate within-family, between-wave effects of MR on PCR. Family-level MR is the grand-mean centered marital relationship (averaged across all families). Effects involving family-level MR indicate between-family effects of MR on PCR. Daily MR_partner, wave-level MR_partner, and family-level MR_partner are spouse’s ratings of marital relationship, which correspond to (PMRtji − PMR.ji), (PMR.ji − PMR..i), and (PMR..i − PMR..) in Model 2-SameDay and Model 2-NextDay. Effects involving Daily MR_partner indicate within-family partner effects of daily MR-PCR link, while effects involving wave-level MR_partner indicate between-wave partner effects and effects involving family-level MR_partner indicate between-family partner effects.
