Summary
Civilian wives married to U.S. Army Active Duty husbands completed questionnaires to explore the impact of attributions of their spouses' posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and combat exposure on marital satisfaction. Symptom attributions were associated with marital satisfaction even when controlling for PTSD symptoms; external attributions were associated with more marital satisfaction and internal attributions with less marital satisfaction.
