Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in emotion regulation | Baseline to month 4, baseline to month 6 | Change in emotion regulation will be measured using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). ERQ is a 10-item questionnaire with a total score ranging from 0-70 with the higher score indicating greater use of emotional regulation strategy. |
| Change in self regulation | Baseline to month 4, baseline to month 6 | Change in self-regulation will be measured using the Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ). The SSRQ is a 31-item self-report questionnaire with a total score ranging from 30-150 with the higher score indicating greater self-regulation. |
| Change in mindfulness attention awareness | Baseline to month 4, baseline to month 6 | Change in mindfulness attention awareness is measured using the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). MAAS has 15 questions with a total score ranging from 15-90 with the higher score indicating higher levels of dispositional mindfulness |
| Change in couple coercion | Baseline to month 4, baseline to month 6 | Change in couple coercion is measured using the Couple Coercion Questionnaire (CCQ). The CCQ is a 12 item questionnaire with the total score ranging from 12-72, with the higher score indicating increased perception of how coercion exemplifies his/her relationship with his/her partner. |

BIS/BAS scale is a 24-item questionnaire with the BIS composing of items 2, 8, 13, 16, 19, 22 and 24. The total score for BIS has a range of 7-28 with the higher score indicating increase avoidance of aversive outcomes. |
| Change in behavioral activation | Baseline to month 4, baseline to month 6 | Behavioral Activation is measured using the Behavioral Inhibition and Activation Scale (BIS/BAS). BIS/BAS scale is a 24-item questionnaire with the BAS composing of a subset of questions with a total score ranging from of 13-52 with the higher score indicating increased motivation to approach goal-oriented outcomes. |
| Change in relationship satisfaction | Baseline to month 4, baseline to month 6 | Changes in relationship satisfaction as assessed by the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS). RDAS is a 14-item measure with total scores ranging from 0-69 with the higher scores indicate greater relationship satisfaction. |
| Heart rate variability | Up to Month 6 | Heart rate variability collected via the Empatica wrist watch |
| Electrodermal activity | Up to Month 6 | Electrodermal activity collected via the Empatica wrist watch |
| Life satisfaction as measured by the Affective Balance Scale (ABS) | Up to Month 6 | ABS is 10 item questionnaire with a total score ranging from 0-5, with the higher score indicating higher life satisfaction. |
| Measure of Current Status (MOCS) | Up to Month 6 | The MOCS questionnaire has a total score ranging from 0-52 with the higher score indicating increased likelihood of having the ability to relax at will. |
| Level of stress | Up to Month 6 | Level of stress will be measured using a Likert Scale question ranging from 1-4 with the higher value indicating greater stress. |
| Frequency of Text messages | Month 6 | The frequency of text messages will be reported as total amount of text messages sent and received per month, collected via Short Messaging Service (SMS) extraction software. |
