The Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics (CAID) is an observational coding method that enables continuous tracking of warmth and dominance in both members of a dyad as an interaction unfolds. Research using this tool has revealed dynamic patterns relevant to psychopathology and psychotherapy, suggesting considerable potential for clinical assessment and research. However, CAID data are sensitive to a variety of person and situational factors, and the way that these factors combine to influence CAID data is poorly understood. We examined data from 10 raters using CAID to assess moment-to-moment warmth and dominance in opposite-sex married dyads (N = 137 couples) interacting in four distinct situations. Using Generalizability Theory methods, we decomposed sources of variance in CAID data and estimated multiple forms of between- and within-person reliability. Results revealed how spouses' moment-to-moment behaviors varied as a function of person, sex, dyad, rater, situation, and relevant interactions between these factors. Based on these results, we provided guidelines for interpreting CAID data at different levels of aggregation in clinical research and practice.

人际动态连续评估的方差分解。

人际动态连续评估 (CAID) 是一种观察性编码方法，可以在互动展开时持续跟踪二元组成员的温暖和支配地位。使用该工具的研究揭示了与精神病理学和心理治疗相关的动态模式，表明临床评估和研究具有相当大的潜力。然而，CAID 数据对各种人和情境因素都很敏感，而这些因素结合起来影响 CAID 数据的方式却知之甚少。我们使用 CAID 检查了来自 10 位评估者的数据，以评估在四种不同情况下互动的异性已婚二人（N = 137 对夫妇）的瞬间温暖和支配地位。使用泛化理论方法，我们分解了 CAID 数据中的方差来源，并估计了人与人之间的多种形式的可靠性。结果揭示了配偶的瞬间行为如何随着人、性别、二人组、评估者、情况以及这些因素之间的相关相互作用而变化。基于这些结果，我们提供了在临床研究和实践中解释不同聚合级别的 CAID 数据的指南。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
