Data were derived from 258 young adult couples (N=516). Using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model path analysis framework, I found that alcohol abuse and perceptions of partner’s alcohol abuse were negatively associated with relationship satisfaction, but only alcohol abuse was positively associated with emotional/verbal aggression. However, results should be considered in light of small effect sizes and limited generalizability. These findings provide a novel contribution by examining perceptions of partner’s alcohol abuse and its association with emotional/verbal aggression. Additionally, this study has implications for couple therapy because of the use of multiple methods of measuring aggression. 2017-11-14 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1510670996108155 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1510670996108155 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
