Married couples from the community were given the Couples Interaction Assessment (CIA) to determine the degree of interspousal similarity/dissimilarity. The CIA is a newly developed in vivo procedure in which the couples discuss predetermined situations. The discussions are recorded and later scored for occurrences of dominating and energizing responses, and for time of communicating. Analyses showed a significant positive correlation between spouses on dominating and communicating, but not on energizing. The advantages and possible further developments of the CIA were discussed.
