I'm trying to find out some information about the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (Kashy & Kenny) for dyadic data, and whether it is appropriate for my data. Does anyone have experience with this model? A classmate read a book about it and ended up more confused than when she started, so I'm not sure where to begin. If you know if any resources that might be helpful, please let me know!
The data I'm working with involves married couples. Each person reported on their spouse's behavior. Specifically, I have husbands' reports of wife-to-husband behavior, and wives' reports of husband-to-wife behaviors. They aren't actually reporting on the same phenomenon (e.g., husband and wife both reporting on wives' behavior), though I can see why there would be interdependence as they belong to the same couple.
Also, we have 3 waves of data if that makes a difference. Maybe a fixed-effects model would be more appropriate as that would take into account unmeasured factors, such as interdependence? Not sure if I'm on the right track - any insight would be appreciated!
