Estimate: estimated effect. S.E.: standard error. a: actor effect, p: partner effect. L1: level-1; L2: level-2.
CDC: Common Dyadic Coping. Significant parameters are presented in bold type.
ff: effect of female partners’ behavior on female partners’ outcome; fm: effect of female partners’ behavior on male partners’ outcome (mm and mf, accordingly)
