Analytic Plan
-------------
If concordance in pornography use partially or fully buffers the negative effects of solitary pornography use on sexual satisfaction, we should find a significant positive interaction between actors' and partners' frequency of pornography use in the context of one or more negative main effects.
- *Analysis: Analyzed with an actor-partner approach (e.g., Kenny,
Kashy, & Cook,2006) our initial model will involve the prediction of
sexual satisfaction using actors' and partners' solitary pornography
use and their interaction. In the next step, we will add shared
pornography use as a between-dyad factor, to see if the interaction
holds while controlling for shared use. Given the previous findings,
we do not anticipate gender specific effects, but these will be
considered in an exploratory fashion in subsequent steps, using the
appropriate interaction terms.*
