**01_Pre-Analyses**
Statistical analyses were computed with SPSS 26 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA). 
The sample was randomly split into two subsamples (subsample 1 and subsample 2). 
The two subsamples did not differ with regard to age, gender, level of education and relationship status
(see Output_Study1_pre-analyses).

**02_CFAs**
Further statistical analyses were calculated using R version 4.0.4 (R Core Team, 2019). 
Scalewise CFAs were conducted with maximum likelihood estimation and Satorra-Bentler scaled (mean adjusted) test statistics 
for testing unidimensionality of the scales (Raykov, 2012).
The item assignment to the scales followed Halberstadt (1986). 
Items with insufficient loadings (i.e. <.32; Worthington & Whittaker, 2006) were deleted in subsample 1. 
For subsample 2, we again calculated model fits by means of CFAs for the final item solution of the German version.

zip-folder *Study 2*
Statistical analyses were implemented using SPSS 26 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA). 
We calculated Pearson’s r to investigate the validation of the FEQ-GR scores of 
the three scales (positive, negative-dominant and negative-submissive family expressiveness).
