Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found that well-adjusted couples focused their complaints on specific behaviors rather than each other's personal characteristics, which suggests they have better communication skills and are more effective at resolving conflicts. Option A is incorrect because well-adjusted couples did not complain about each other's personal characteristics. Option C is incorrect because launching counter complaints is not a behavior that was mentioned in the study. Option D is incorrect because well-adjusted couples did not display fewer attempts to avoid conflict, so this option is also wrong.
