Comma usage
The motivation for this study is to address possibility of a confounding variable in the previous study and examine its impact on relationship satisfaction as well as its importance in predicting accurate explicit responses.
I am wondering if I need a comma before "as well as" ?
I do not think I do, but considering its already an idea after a previous conjuction...it seems like it would provide more fluidity, instead of seeming like a run-on sentence.

Thanks . That does sound better.
Especially using the word "raised" , placing a "to" before examine, and a "the" before possibility (which was a typo) . I dont know why I felt I did not need a comma before "and" ?
Also, probably irrelevant given you had no other context, but I am testing the accuracy of explicit psychological tests versus implicit tests. So, I am indeed lookin
