Summary:An intraindividual variability design, including application of dynamic factor models, was used to examine the affective processes of a husband-wife dyad over 182 consecutive days. Structural equation analyses indicated differences in the affective structure between the husband and the wife, and these differences were characterized in terms of their factorial configuration and temporal organization. Examination of the dyad's affective dynamics revealed unidirectional (i.e., from the husband to the wife) interpersonal influences with a defined structure over time.
