Article Marital satisfaction and trauma-related symptoms among injured survivors of terror attacks and their spouses Michael Weinberg 1 , Avi Besser 2 , Virgil Zeigler-Hill 3 , and Yuval Neria 4 Abstract This study examined the relationships between marital satisfaction and trauma-related symptoms (i.e., post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety) among 105 couples of injured survivors of terror attacks and their spouses (N ¼ 210). Structural equation modeling and the actor–partner interdependence model were used to test the interdependence relationship between survivors’ and spouses’ marital satisfaction and trauma-related symptoms. The results demonstrated that the level of marital satisfaction reported by unexposed spouses was negatively associated with their own trauma- related symptoms as well as with the symptoms reported by the survivors. In con- trast, the level of marital satisfaction reported by the survivors was negatively associated with their own trauma-related symptoms but had no connection with trauma-related symptoms reported by their spouses. Taken together, our findings shed new light on the potential links between marital satisfaction and trauma-related symptoms for survivors of terrorism and their spouses. Theoretical and clinical implications of these findings are also discussed. 1 University of Haifa, Israel 2 Sapir Academic College, Israel 3 Oakland University, USA 4 New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University Medical Center, USA Corresponding author: Michael Weinberg, School of Social Work, University of Haifa, Mount Carmel, Haifa 3498838, Israel.
