Partner effects

Partner effects are when a person is influenced by the way their partner behaves. For example, if one person in a relationship is always happy and positive, it can rub off on the other person and make them feel happier too. This kind of influence is called a partner effect. It's like when you hang out with someone who has a lot of energy, it makes you feel energized as well. That's a partner effect.
