Abstract

= 5.87). Drawing on the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model, a multivariate multilevel modeling approach was adopted. Controlling for trait-level PPR, when women and partners reported greater PPR, women reported greater sexual function and satisfaction and partners reported greater sexual function. When partners reported greater PPR, they reported greater sexual satisfaction. No association was found between PPR and women's pain. PPR may facilitate better sexual function and satisfaction and could be an important target in sex and couple therapy for GPPPD. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
