In contrast, experimental studies of communication have concluded that differences were more likely due to partners' \u201cill will than poor skill.\u201d We revisited this debate by recruiting a fairly generalizable sample of couples (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0291) via random\u2010digit dialing and asking them to discuss two top conflict areas (\u201cat your best\u201d and \u201cas you typically do\u201d), thus measuring will\u2014conscious inhibition of hostility and negative reciprocity and production of positivity (i.e., the \u201cconflict triad\u201d). The conflict triad was observed with the Rapid Marital Interaction Coding System, Second Generation. We found partial support for the hypotheses grounded in Finkel's I<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> meta\u2010model. Frequency of hostility was associated with a complicated satisfaction\u2009\u00d7\u2009IPV\u2010extent\u2009\u00d7\u2009conversation type\u2009\u00d7\u2009gender interaction, indicating that couples' communication skills are multi\u2010determined. Unhappier couples showed almost no change in positivity when at their best, whereas happier couples nearly doubled their positivity despite their considerably higher typical positivity mean. Negative reciprocity was associated with satisfaction and IPV\u2010extent but not conversation type, implying that immediate instigation combined with risk factors overwhelms conscious inhibition. Intervention implications are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/famp.12834","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,8]],"date-time":"2022-11-08T23:43:52Z","timestamp":1667951032000},"page":"1233-1252","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Revisiting \u201cill will versus poor skill\u201d: Relationship dissatisfaction, intimate partner violence, and observed \u201ccommunication skills deficits\u201d"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"62","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5365-0037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard E.","family":"Heyman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Family Translational Research Group New York University New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6321-1740","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amy M.
