Rebound for Marital Conflict and Divorce Prediction

By John M. Gottman and Robert W. Levenson.

Marital interaction has primarily been examined in the context of conflict resolution. This study investigated the predictive ability of couples to rebound from marital conflict in a subsequent positive conversation. Results showed that there was a great deal of consistency in affect across both conversations. Also examined was the ability of affective interaction to predict divorce over a four-year period, separately in each of the two conversations. It was possible to predict divorce using affective variables from each conversation with 82.6% accuracy from the conflict conversation and with 92.7% from the positive rebound conversation.
