Sample Couple Data

Description

This is an example of data from a 15 minute couple conflict discussion, as used in studies of marriage by John Gottman and others. The data are coded according to the Specific Affect Coding System (SPAFF) version 4.0. They are discretized by second, weighted according to the positivity or negativity of the code, from +4 to -4, where neutral has a value of .1 (just slightly positive). Then the sequence is aggregated by 6-second windows to produce 150 data points ranging from -24 to 24 for both the husband and the wife.

Usage

data(couple)

Format
