Northwestern NSF2

This is a longitudinal study of 120 married couples from the community surrounding Northwestern University (especially Evanston and Chicago, IL). All couples attended a laboratory session at study entry (Wave 0), and then completed follow-up surveys online every four months for the next two years (Waves 1-6). The intake session involved three sets of procedures: (1) completing surveys (participants also completed an online survey before attending the intake session); (2) completing computerized "implicit cognition" tasks, such as a Stroop task and AMP and IAT tasks relevant to physical aggression; and (3) videorecorded discussions with their partner, such as a standard conflict discussion and a self-change discussion.
