Can spouses provide knowledge of each other's communication patterns? A study of self-reports, spouses' reports, and observational coding
Article Abstract:
Individuals' self-reports of communication and their reports about their spouses' communication is assessed in order to examine the congruence of spousal views, and the presence or absence of the uniqueness of the information about observed material interactions are investigated. The findings indicate that self-reports of both verbal aggression and cooperation are strongly associated with the same individual's report of his or her spouse's verbal aggression and cooperation.
