McNair Summer Research with Dr. Matthew Johnson
Marraige Appraisals and Behavior Comparison Between Couples

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between couples’ appraisals of problem-solving discussions and their behavior during the problem-solving discussions before and after marriage. Data from the parent study suggests that before marriage, couples’ partners do not take one another’s behavior into account, whereas after marriage, couples have learned to take behavior into account of when forming expectations. The current study addresses couples’ appraisals of their interactions before marriage and whether they are taken into account in the formation of their expectations (pre-appraisals) of their interactions after marriage.
