In 1980, 30 married couples had engaged in a low-conflict and a high-conflict conversational interaction while continuous physiological data were obtained. In a separate session each spouse had provided a continuous self-report of affect while viewing the videotape of the interaction. In 1983, 19 of these couples were re-located to determine the change in relationship satisfaction that had occurred over the preceding 3 years. A broadly based pattern of physiological arousal (across spouses, interaction segments, and physiological measures) in 1980 was found to predict decline in marital satisfaction; the more aroused the couple was during the 1980 interactions, the more their marital satisfaction declined over the ensuing 3 years. Several affective variables also predicted decline in marital satisfaction, including a pronounced sex difference in negative affect reciprocity: Marital satisfaction declined most when husbands did not reciprocate their wives' negative affect, and when wives did reciprocate their husbands' negative affect.
1980年，30对已婚夫妇进行了低冲突和高冲突的对话互动，同时获取了连续的生理数据。在另一次会议中，每位配偶在观看互动录像时提供了连续的情感自我报告。1983年，其中19对夫妇被重新定位，以确定在过去3年中婚姻满意度的变化。研究发现，1980年广泛存在的生理唤醒模式（涉及配偶、互动片段和生理测量）可预测婚姻满意度的下降；在1980年的互动中，夫妇的唤醒程度越高，在随后3年中他们的婚姻满意度下降得就越多。几个情感变量也可预测婚姻满意度的下降，包括在负面情感互惠方面存在明显的性别差异：当丈夫不回应妻子的负面情感，而妻子回应丈夫的负面情感时，婚姻满意度下降得最多。
