Mimic the structure of a dataset from a heterosexual romantic couples study (i.e., ESM dyadic design). This simulated study focuses on the emotional affect dynamics of romantic partners taking into account the context (location and contact with the partner). In addition, this study assumes that couples are randomized into two treatments. Thus, the dataset includes a baseline phase and a treatment phase, where couples are randomly allocated to one of the two treatments. Here are the general characteristics of the dataset.
