Pooled within-subjects correlation matrices for estimated blood alcohol concentration (eBAC) levels, binge drinking, and dating violence for weekly conflict situations (both non-violent and violent) based on women’s reports for themselves and their male partners.

Note. Binge drinking was defined as four or more drinks for women (five or more drinks for men) on a single occasion (Kanny et al., 2018). eBAC = estimated blood alcohol concentration level.

^aContinuous variable.

^bDichotomous variable (0 = absent; 1 = present).

^cBy women’s report.

¹Female participants indicated whether the conflict event (as measured by a modified version of the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales [CTS2]) was initiated by themselves, their male partners, or both partners.

²These situations included non-violent conflicts as well as conflicts involving dating violence.
