from Part VI - Intensive Longitudinal Designs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 March 2020
Humans are a social species, wired for relationships. The presence or absence of another has salient effects on human responding. This chapter discusses important considerations for dyadic research, including key concepts and theories, common designs and measures, recent innovations, and unique challenges. Attachment theory is foundational for understanding a range of dyadic relationships, including child-caregiver, peer, and romantic couples. Social baseline theory provides further context regarding how humans utilize relationships to enhance survival potential. Numerous dyadic methods and measures exist, though fewer are designed for peer relationships. Recent innovations have focused on automated coding methods, vocal pitch analysis, and cutting-edge statistics. Common obstacles for dyadic research include participant scheduling, ethical concerns, complex research paradigms, and data set configuration.
