description This study explored connections between initiator tendency (the propensity to initiate relationship discussions with spouses), value placed on supportive communication, and partner satisfaction. We predicted that supportive communication values would moderate the association between initiator tendency and partner satisfaction. Participants (60 married couples) completed measures tapping initiator style, value placed on supportive communication, and marital satisfaction. As predicted, the association between husband initiator tendency and wife marital satisfaction increased as a function of the value husbands placed on supportive communication. The association between wife initiator tendency and husband satisfaction, though positive, was not moderated by wives' communication values.
