Trained observers rated positive and negative escalation, mutuality, relationship quality, and satisfaction.

In dyads exhibiting reduced positive interaction patterns, specifically a lack of mutuality and relationship satisfaction, we observed increases in girls' negative affect, detachment, disinhibition, and psychoticism.
