Abstract

Thirty married couples interacted in a low-conflict situation and a high-conflict situation during which continuous physiological measures were obtained. Each spouse returned separately for a second session in which they watched the videotape of the interaction and provided a continuous self-report rating of their own affect while the same physiological measures were again obtained. Observers coded the spouses' affect during each speech unit. The self-reports of affect (a) discriminated the high-conflict interaction from the low-conflict interaction, (b) correlated significantly with marital satisfaction, (c) were coherent between husband and wife, and (d) were significantly related to the observers' coding of the couples' affect. Physiological data obtained during the interaction session were significantly related (using time-series analyses) to physiological data obtained during the recall session. In all comprehensive discussions of emotion the subject's own experience of affect has been considered an important channel of information (see Strongman, 1978). This channel has always been troublesome from an empirical standpoint in terms of meeting psychometric criteria of reliability and validity. One important application of a valid selfreport procedure would be in the study of emotion during social interaction. Ekman, Friesen, and Ellsworth (1972) noted that the study of emotion in the context of social interaction can make a number of unique contributions. One of these contributions is the study of interaction as it unfolds in time, which permits the analysis of the sequential nature of the interaction using time-series analysis. Thus, a method for procuring the self-report of affect that could provide a continuous record over an interaction session would be extremely useful in the study of emotion in social interaction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
