APIMeM with husbands’ and wives’ social support as predictor variables.
Note: H = husband; W = wife. Plain lines showed the significant paths, dotted lines the non-significant paths. * p < .05, **p < .01, *** p < .001. Data Source: Swiss Household Panel (SHP).

APIMeM with only significant contrasts between indirect actor effects and between indirect actor-partner effects estimated.
Note: H = husband; W = wife. Dyadic support stands for all the predictor variables (emotional and practical support). Indirect Effect 1 (yellow lines) = Support Husbands →Depressive mood Husbands →Health Husbands; Indirect Effect 2 (red lines) = Support Husbands →Optimism Husbands →Health Husbands; Indirect Effect 3 (purple lines) = Support Wives →Depressive mood Wives→Health Wives; Indirect Effect 4 (orange lines) = Support Wives →Optimism Wives →Health Wives; Indirect Effect 5 (green lines) = Support Husbands →Depressive mood Husbands→ Health Wives; Indirect Effect 6 (blue lines) = Support Husbands →Optimism Husbands→ Health Wives.
