relationship quality
measures, and a range of demographic and baseline

Health care communication investigators are beginning to emphasize that
measuring how the patient perceives and engages in
relationships might be as important as focusing primarily on provider communication
variables, but that such patient
variables are less frequently investigated (15).
These
measures spanned a total of 50
variables describing maternal health and well - being; partner adjustment; family stability,

The mediator
variable relationship satisfaction was
measured with one question at T2 asking the respondents to rate their degree of satisfaction in the
relationship from 1 = very unsatisfied to 7 = completely satisfied.
Furthermore, they found that a composite
measure involving intrinsic and environmental factors was associated with each step in their marital cascade model, indicating that a broader range of
variables than
relationship quality alone may be involved in cascades towards
relationship dissolution.
To address this goal, we adopted a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) approach (see Figure 1) which allowed us to partition each
measured (manifest)
variable into three components: (1) variance that is common to all
relationships, (2) variance that is unique to a specific
relationship, and (3) measurement error.
In addition to
measuring relationship satisfaction and partner satisfaction, we included a
measure of self - esteem in our study to control for this
variable's influence on our results.
In other words,
measures of psychological adjustment correlated positively with each other as did indicators of psychological maladjustment, and negative
relationships appeared between these two types of
variables.
Coparentality can be considered a
variable that
measures the marital
relationship and parentality, once the collaboration between the couple members might influence the way they interact with the child, evidencing how much marital

To discern the effect of age on the
relationship among the main
variables, analyses by intelligence
measure (Mullen and Leiter - R) was conducted, and findings were shown in separate tables for each group.
When the combined data set was separated by intelligence
measure, only the younger group (Mullen) displayed moderate correlation between parental depression and adaptive behavior, suggesting that the strength of a linear
relationship between these two
variables is much stronger in younger deaf children as compared to older deaf children.
To test for associations among the various
measures, we used one - tailed, bivariate Pearson's correlations, which
measure the strength and direction, as well as the significance of linear
relationships between pairs of
variables.
Using structural equation modeling,
measures of family
relationships, such as a person's own and his / her partner's marital adjustment, the amount of contact with children (and grandchildren, if applicable), and being a grandparent or not, served as independent
variables to predict each partner's satisfaction with life.
The increased smoking probability induced by the lack of trust in peers somewhat counters the findings for
relationship quality and suggests that both
variables measure different
relationship aspects.
Structural equation modeling (SEM) allows for the simultaneous examination of the
relationships between latent constructs defined by multiple

variables (e.g., gender, HbA1C) while reducing the effect of measurement error on results.
Of note, we treat these
variables as time invariant, while fully acknowledging that these constructs may in other situations be conceived and

measures the strength of the
relationship between
variables, but does not neccasarily
measure anything pertaining to cause / affect.
