p < .001, two-tailed. This means masters are less likely to meet a complaint from their spouse with another complaint compared to that of the disasters sample.
There is a significant difference between the number of times masters (M = 1.8, SD = 1.01) and disasters (M = 4.8, SD = 7.34) show contempt toward their partner each week, t(30.464) = -6.69, p < .001, two-tailed. The analysis demonstrates that masters show less contempt toward their partner each week than disasters.
There is a significant negative correlation between the number of displays of respect
(M = 6.3, SD = 3.57) and the number of displays of contempt (M = 3.3, SD = 2.07) in the relationship each week, r(39) = -.743, p < .001, two tailed. Through the analysis one can determine that as displays of respect increase, the displays of contempt decrease accordingly.
There is not a significant difference between the amount of stonewalls that occurred last week for masters and disasters x2(1, N = 40) = .900, p = .343. This means that masters are no more or less likely than disasters to have stonewalled in the last week.
