This study examined the dyadic association of terror attack survivors’ and spouses’ internal resources, tendency to forgive (self, others,and situational forgiveness), self-esteem, and the external resource of social support, as associated with victims’ and spouses’ posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, using the actor–partner interdependence model. Based on lists by the One Family organization in Israel, 108 couples participated in the study. The study results demonstrate that in the dyad relationship, survivors’ tenden cyto forgive others and social support relate both to survivors’ decreased levels of PTSD symptom severity (β = −.20, p = .021;β =−.55 p < .001) and spouses’ decreased levels of PTSD symptom severity (β =−.21, p = .015; β =−.27, p = . 004), whereas spouses’ self-esteem relates to both spouses’ and survivors’ decreased levels of PTSD symptom severity (β =−.57, p < .001; β =−.14, p = .041).The findings underscore the role of the survivor–spouse unit by highlighting the dyad relationship of internal and external resources as associated with both survivors’ and spouses’ PTSD symptoms. Theoretical and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.
本研究采用演员-伙伴相互依存模型，考察了恐怖袭击幸存者及其配偶的内部资源、宽恕倾向（自我、他人和情境宽恕）、自尊以及外部资源（社会支持）与受害者和配偶创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状之间的二元关联。本研究基于以色列“一个家庭”组织的名单，共有 108 对夫妇参与了研究。研究结果表明，在二元关系中，幸存者的宽恕他人倾向以及社会支持与幸存者 PTSD 症状严重程度的降低有关（β=−.20，p=.021；β=−.55，p<.001），与配偶 PTSD 症状严重程度的降低有关（β=−.21，p=.015；β=−.27，p=.004），而配偶的自尊与配偶和幸存者 PTSD 症状严重程度的降低有关（β=−.57，p<.001；β=−.14，p=.041）。研究结果强调了幸存者-配偶单位的作用，突出了内部和外部资源的二元关系与幸存者和配偶的 PTSD 症状有关。讨论了研究结果的理论和临床意义。
