In a study conducted by art aron and his colleagues, married couples engaged in one of two tasks: either they were tied together with velcro and required to move a soft ball positioned between their heads across a long mat, or they each had to push a ball on their own across the mat with a stick. couples in the first condition reported higher marital satisfaction after completing the task compared to couples in the second condition. how did the researchers interpret these results?

The researchers came to the conclusion that the first task was most arousing, this is because spouses often experience a misattribution of arousal to feeling about their partner. Communication and engaging in fun activities is vital for happy, healthy relationships.
