Gottman and Levenson's primary research for this model, published in the 1990s, centered around utilizing a variety of measures, in combination, to study the conflict interactions amongst married couples.<ref name=":12" /><ref name=":2" /> Gottman and Levenson physiological information garnered by [[polygraph]]s, [[Electrocardiography|EKGs]], and pulse monitoring and behavioral information collected via survey and video recording.<ref name=":2" /> Information collected by video was coded using the Rapid Couples Interaction Scoring System (RCISS), the Special Affect Coding System (SPAFF), and the Marital Coding Information System (MCIS).<ref name=":2" /> RCISS consists of a thirteen-point speaker behavior and a nine-point listener checklist, which can be broken down into five positive and eight negative codes.<ref name=":2" /> The SPAFF is "a cultural informant coding system" which considers verbal content, tone, and context, as well as facial expression, movement, and gestures, and body movement.<ref name=":2" /> MCIS is the oldest and most widely used affect coding system, but is not as specific as others and is generally used in addition to other methods.<ref name=":2" />
