This paper demonstrates a recently-popularized quantitative method, the time-varying effect model (TVEM), in describing dynamic, momentary interpersonal processes implicated by Interpersonal Theory. We investigated moment-to-moment complementarity in affiliation and control behaviors (i.e., correspondence in affiliation and reciprocity in control between married dyad members) in a five-minute interaction (N=135), and how complementarity changed over time. Overall, results supported complementarity in affiliation and control. Moreover, effects were time-varying: Complementarity in affiliation increased over time and complementary in control changed over time in a cyclical manner. Dyadic adjustment moderated the strength in complementarity in control during specific timeframes. We discuss implications of these results and future directions. The findings support the utility of TVEM for studying dynamic and time-dependent interpersonal processes.
本文展示了一种最近流行的定量方法——时变效应模型（TVEM），用于描述人际理论所涉及的动态、瞬间的人际过程。我们在一个五分钟的互动中（N = 135）研究了亲和与控制行为中的瞬间互补性（即已婚二元组成员之间亲和的对应性和控制的互惠性），以及互补性如何随时间变化。总体而言，结果支持了亲和与控制中的互补性。此外，效应是随时间变化的：亲和中的互补性随时间增加，而控制中的互补性随时间呈周期性变化。二元组调整在特定时间框架内调节了控制互补性的强度。我们讨论了这些结果的意义和未来方向。研究结果支持了TVEM在研究动态和时间依赖性人际过程方面的实用性。
