This study examined the influence of trauma history and PTSD symptoms on the behavior of veterans and their intimate partners (287 couples; N=574) observed during conflict discussions and coded using the Rapid Marital Interaction Coding System (Heyman, 2004). Dyadic structural equation modeling analyses showed that PTSD was associated with more frequent displays of hostility and psychological abuse and fewer expressions of acceptance and humor in both veterans and their partners. Findings provide new insight into the social and emotional deficits associated with PTSD and emphasize the importance of addressing the trauma histories and PTSD of both partners when treating veteran couples with relationship disturbance.
这项研究考察了创伤史和 PTSD 症状对退伍军人及其亲密伴侣(287 对夫妻;N=574)在冲突讨论中行为的影响,并使用快速婚姻互动编码系统(Heyman,2004)进行了编码。对偶结构方程模型分析表明,PTSD 与退伍军人及其伴侣更频繁地表现出敌意和心理虐待,以及较少表达接受和幽默有关。研究结果为 PTSD 相关的社会和情感缺陷提供了新的见解,并强调在治疗有伴侣关系困扰的退伍军人时,重视处理双方的创伤史和 PTSD 的重要性。
