Abstract: APIM is an important analytic approach of dyadic data, and its analysis unit is dyad. Based on the actor and partner effects, Kenny and Ledermann discussed four general APIM dyadic patterns:the actor-only, the partner-only, the couple, and the contrast patterns. Then Kenny and Ledermann defined k as the ratio of the partner effect to the actor effect. By estimating k, researchers have a quantitative index of the relative size of the partner effect. Researchers can simplify the results and analyze the process of group interaction through dyadic patterns. On the basis of example, both advantage and limitation were discussed.

Key words: Actor-Partner Interdependence Model, actor-only pattern, partner-only pattern, couple pattern, contrast pattern
