Abstract
A developmental framework for the analysis of premarital dyadic formation (PDF) is presented by the time‐order interrelating of six pair processes, i.e., the achieving of similarity perception, pair rapport, self‐disclosure, role‐taking, role‐fit, and dyadic crystallization. Empirical linkages between these pair processes are examined as underpinning for a conceptual framework from which developmental hypotheses may be generated and tested for the purpose of establishing construct validity for the PDF Framework.Keywords
