Audit alignmentPreserve dyad IDs and member roles.
Separate effectsEstimate actor and partner associations by role.
Model dependenceCorrelate paired residuals and allow role variances.

WHAT IS INSIDE

A complete distinguishable-dyad workflow.

01

Audit dyads and roles

Check unique dyad IDs, completeness, role definitions, and actor-partner alignment.

02

Prepare two rows per dyad

Create aligned actor and partner predictors and centered variables.

03

Fit the APIM

Estimate role-specific intercepts, actor effects, partner effects, residual correlation, and variances.

04

Compare roles directly

Test actor- and partner-effect differences instead of comparing significance labels.

05

Diagnose and report

Review residuals, confidence-banded predictions, estimation counts, dynamic text, and exports.

DESIGNED FOR DYADIC RESEARCH

Keep both members in the model.

This workflow is useful when:

  • Each dyad has two meaningfully different roles.
  • Each member has a predictor and outcome.
  • Actor and partner associations are central to the question.
  • Within-pair dependence must be modeled.

Indistinguishable or longitudinal dyads require additional constraints and dependence structures. Associations are not automatically causal.
