Positivity resonance-defined as a synthesis of shared positive affect, mutual care and concern, plus behavioral and biological synchrony-is theorized to contribute to a host of positive outcomes, including relationship satisfaction. The current study examined whether, in long-term married couples, behavioral indices of positivity resonance (rated using a new behavioral coding system) are associated with concurrent shared positive affect using a well-established dyadic-level behavioral coding system (i.e., Specific Affect Coding System: SPAFF), and whether positivity resonance predicts concurrent marital satisfaction independently from other affective indices. Long-term married couples completed a self-report inventory assessing marital satisfaction and were then brought into the laboratory to participate in a conversation about an area of marital disagreement while being videotaped for subsequent behavioral coding. Interrater reliability for positivity resonance behavioral coding was high (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.8). Results indicated that positivity resonance is associated with frequency of shared positive affect using SPAFF. No associations were found between positivity resonance and frequencies of SPAFF-coded individual-level positive affect or shared negative affect. Additionally, positivity resonance predicted marital satisfaction independently from frequencies of SPAFF-coded shared positive affect and individual-level positive affect alone. The effect of positivity resonance on marital satisfaction also remained significant after controlling for overall affective tone of conflict conversation. These findings provide preliminary construct and predictive validity for positivity resonance behavioral coding, and highlight the possible role positivity resonance may play in building relationship satisfaction in married couples.

与长期婚姻满意度相关的积极共振的行为指标。

从理论上讲，共鸣共鸣是指共享的积极影响，相互关心和关心以及行为和生物同步性的综合结果，有助于产生一系列积极成果，包括关系满意度。当前的研究使用成熟的二元行为编码系统（即“特效”）研究了在长期已婚夫妇中，积极共振的行为指标（使用新的行为编码系统进行了评分）是否与并发的共享积极影响相关联编码系统：SPAFF），以及阳性反应是否可以独立于其他情感指标预测并发婚姻满意度。长期已婚夫妇完成了一份自我报告清单，评估了婚姻满意度，然后被带到实验室参加有关婚姻分歧问题的对话，同时被录像以进行后续行为编码。阳性共振行为编码的interrater可靠性高（类内相关系数：0.8）。结果表明，使用SPAFF，阳性共振与共享积极影响的频率相关。在阳性反应与SPAFF编码的个体水平正效应或共有负效应的频率之间未发现关联。此外，阳性共振独立于SPAFF编码的共享积极情绪和单独的个人积极情绪的频率预测婚姻满意度。在控制了冲突谈话的整体情感基调之后，积极的共鸣对婚姻满意度的影响也仍然很显着。这些发现为阳性共振行为编码提供了初步的构造和预测效度，并突出了阳性共振在建立已婚夫妇的关系满意度中可能发挥的作用。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
