Allen, Agaitha; Thompson, Teresa

Examined the congruence between marital partners' perceptions, metaperceptions, and meta-metaperceptions, as well as the impact of this congruence on communicative satisfaction, in 50 couples. The data indicated high levels of agreement, understanding, feeling understood, realization, and communicative satisfaction in the couples and no significant differences between husbands and wives.
