Note: E = emotional experience, EE = emotional extremity, NT = negative topic, PT = positive topic, r = Pearson correlation, dr = distance correlation, p-value = p-value for the permutation test at the mean level, #pos = number of couples/individuals that exceeds the highest 2.5 % of the distribution for the pseudo-couples for Pearson correlations (r and temporal linkages) or the highest 5 % for distance correlations (dr) and coupling indicators, #neg = number of couples/individuals that exceeds the lowest 2.5 % of the distribution for the pseudo-couples for Pearson correlations (r and temporal linkages).
