Toronto Couples Study, 2017

This dataset was collected at the University of Toronto between 2015-2017. Romantic couples from the community participated in a four-part study. To be eligible, couples were required to be in a relationship for at least 3 years. A total of 111 couples completed the study. The four parts of the study included (1) completing a background questionnaire; (2) participating in a lab session in which they were connected to physiological equipment and held three conversations, alternating as speakers and listeners, on the topics of (a) a time when they felt distressed, (b) something they would like their partner to change and (c) something about their partner they feel grateful for; and completed questionnaires about these conversations; (3) completing a 14-day daily experience (“diary”) study; and (4) completing a follow-up questionnaire the day after the diary. In addition, a subset of these participants was rated by their work supervisors. Data have been collected for this study in full.
