Description
167 romantic couples in Turkey, averaging 3.3 months into their relationships, participated in this longitudinal study. Data were collected from both partners across multiple phases, including monthly online assessments, laboratory interactions, and a 6-month follow-up. The dataset, authored by Gul Gunaydin and last updated in April 2026, is part of a larger research program with five interrelated samples.
Use Cases
Modeling relationship satisfaction and commitment trajectories based on repeated monthly measures.
Analyzing the link between stressor exposure and affective states (positive/negative affect) in fledgling couples.
Predicting breakup status using longitudinal data on perceived partner responsiveness and attachment orientations.
Studying behavioral coding of conflict discussions for responsiveness and constructive/destructive behaviors.
Strengths
Dyadic data from 167 couples enables partner-level and couple-level analysis.
Longitudinal design with repeated measures across multiple time points (Month 1, 2, 3, and 6-month follow-up).
Includes multiple data collection methods: surveys, laboratory observations, and researcher-coded interactions.
Core constructs overlap with four other samples in the research program, enabling cross-sample synthesis.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain modeling tasks.
Data may reflect geographic and demographic bias inherent to the sample of young adults in Turkey.
