Note: All mechanisms were measured either at screener or pretreatment. Relationship satisfaction was measured both at screener and pretreatment. Due to the close timing of measurements, they were averaged and used as baseline in all models, presented here. Relationship problem acceptance was residualized on problem frequency. Residualized scores are reported here and used in all models.
