**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). 
Using the Vuong test (Vuong, 1989), we planned to compare the CFAs of the two- and three-scale version,
as well as Halberstadt’s postulated four-scale version against each other within the first subsample (subsample 1).
Then, CFAs were conducted with maximum likelihood estimation with robust (Huber-White) standard errors 
and a scaled test statistic equal to Yuan-Bentler test statistic (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 CFA for the final item solution of the German version.
Please note:
In revision 1, we conducted scalewise CFAs with maximum likelihood estimation and Satorra-Bentler scaled (mean adjusted) test statistics 
for testing unidimensionality of the scales (Raykov, 2012).
This approach also favored the three-factor solution with the scales
positive (P), negative-dominant (ND) and negative-submissive family expressiveness (NS).
The items belonging to the P and ND scale remained the same.
But, for the NS scale, item 34 was eliminated. Therefore, all analyses including the NS scale were re-analysed for revision 2.
This applies to ESM 2 showing item parameters from subsample 2 (study 1) and 
to all intercorrelations with the NS scale (study 2).

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).
