posttraumatic stress disorder and Intimate Relationship problems a meta analysis
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2011Co-Authors: Casey T. Taft, Amy E. Street, Laura E. Watkins, Jane Stafford, Candice M MonsonAbstract:Objective: The authors conducted a meta-analysis of empirical studies investigating associations between indices of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Intimate Relationship problems to empirically synthesize this literature. Method: A literature search using PsycINFO, Medline, Published International Literature on Traumatic Stress (PILOTS), and Dissertation Abstracts was performed. The authors identified 31 studies meeting inclusion criteria. Results: True score correlations (ρ) revealed medium-sized associations between PTSD and Intimate Relationship discord (ρ = .38, N = 7,973, K = 21), Intimate Relationship physical aggression perpetration (ρ = .42, N = 4,630, K = 19), and Intimate Relationship psychological aggression perpetration (ρ = .36, N = 1,501, K = 10). The strength of the association between PTSD and Relationship discord was higher in military (vs. civilian) samples, and when the study was conducted in the United States (vs. other country), and the study represented a doctoral dissertation (vs. published article). The strength of the association between PTSD and physical aggression was higher in military (vs. civilian) samples, males (vs. females), community (vs. clinical) samples, studies examining PTSD symptom severity (vs. diagnosis), when the physical aggression measure focused exclusively on severe violence (vs. a more inclusive measure), and the study was published (vs. dissertation). For the PTSD-psychological aggression association, 98% of the variance was accounted for by methodological artifacts such as sampling and measurement error; consequently, no moderators were examined in this Relationship. Conclusions: Findings highlight a need for the examination of models explaining the Relationship difficulties associated with PTSD symptomatology and interventions designed to treat problems in both areas.

military related ptsd and Intimate Relationships from description to theory driven research and intervention development
Clinical Psychology Review, 2009Co-Authors: Casey T. Taft, Candice M Monson, Steffany J FredmanAbstract:Military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have brought heightened awareness of military related PTSD, as well as the Intimate Relationship problems that accompany the disorder and can influence the course of veterans’ trauma recovery. In this paper, we review recent research that documents the association between PTSD and Intimate Relationship problems in the most recent cohort of returning veterans and also synthesize research on prior eras of veterans and their Intimate Relationships in order to inform future research and treatment efforts with recently returned veterans and their families. We highlight the need for more theoretically-driven research that can account for the likely reciprocally causal association between PTSD and Intimate Relationship problems to advance understanding and inform prevention and treatment efforts for veterans and their families. Future research directions are offered to advance this field of study.

posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms Relationship adjustment and Relationship aggression in a sample of female flood victims
Journal of Family Violence, 2009Co-Authors: Casey T. Taft, Candice M Monson, Laura E. Watkins, Jeremiah A Schumm, Jillian Panuzio, Patricia A ResickAbstract:This study tested a model examining the interRelationships among posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, Intimate Relationship adjustment, and Intimate Relationship aggression in a sample of 205 adult female flood victims. At the bivariate level, higher PTSD symptoms were associated with higher physical and psychological aggression victimization, poorer Relationship adjustment, and higher physical and psychological aggression perpetration. Results from structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses indicated that Relationship aggression victimization influenced aggression perpetration directly, and in the case of physical aggression, indirectly through its Relationship with PTSD symptoms and Relationship adjustment. The influence of PTSD symptoms on physical aggression perpetration was fully explained by poorer Relationship adjustment. These findings extend prior work from other traumatized populations documenting associations between variables reflecting PTSD symptomatology and indices of Relationship functioning, and indicate a need for further investigation in this area of inquiry.

Combat exposure, mental health, and Relationship functioning among women veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
Journal of Family Psychology, 2015Co-Authors: Suzannah K. Creech, Casey T. Taft, Caron Zlotnick, Robert M Swift, Amy E. StreetAbstract:This study examined associations between warzone exposures to combat with postdeployment Relationship and family functioning in 134 women who deployed to the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Survey invitations were sent by mail to 600 randomly selected women who experienced recent military deployments and were residing in New England. The web-based survey included measures of combat exposure, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, alcohol misuse, postdeployment stress exposure, family functioning, Intimate Relationship satisfaction, and parenting. Multivariate linear regression with bootstrapping estimates of indirect effects was used to examine whether PTSD symptoms and alcohol misuse accounted for associations between women's combat exposure and their postdeployment Relationship and family functioning. Results indicated that women's PTSD symptoms had a direct and negative effect on postdeployment family functioning and on Intimate Relationship satisfaction. There was no direct association between combat exposure or alcohol misuse with any of the family or Relationship functioning variables, however, the indirect association from combat to postdeployment family functioning (b = -.13, SE = 0.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -33, -.03) and Intimate Relationship satisfaction (b = -.25, SE = 0.18, 95% CI: -.79, -.001) was significant and negative through its association with PTSD symptoms. Parenting satisfaction was significantly and negatively associated with postdeployment stress only. This study is among the first to characterize the impact of deployment experiences on women veterans' Relationship and family functioning. Findings suggest that women veterans who have been exposed to combat and who have higher levels of PTSD symptoms may benefit from Relationship and family focused services after deployment.

Intimate Relationship dynamics and changing desire for pregnancy among young women
Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, 2019Co-Authors: Jennifer S Barber, Warren B Miller, Yasamin Kusunoki, Sarah R Hayford, Karen Benjamin GuzzoAbstract:CONTEXT Although substantial research has focused on unintended pregnancy among young women, less is known about the circumstances under which pregnancy is desired. Whether a young woman's pregnancy desire changes across her different Relationships, or over time within a Relationship, has not been directly assessed. METHODS Data on Intimate Relationships and pregnancy desire were assessed weekly for 895 women aged 18-22 who participated in the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life study in a county in Michigan (2008-2012). Within-between logistic regression models were used to examine within-cluster and between-cluster differences-comparisons of a woman's pregnancy desire within a Relationship over time as well as across a woman's different Relationships. RESULTS Young women were more likely to desire pregnancy if they were in any Relationship more Intimate and committed than a casual Relationship (odds ratios, 1.6-9.2); the odds of desiring pregnancy were also higher in long-term Relationships rather than in short-term ones (2.1). In general, pregnancy desire increased over time as a Relationship endured and became more serious. The odds of desiring pregnancy were lower among women with less educated, rather than equally educated, partners (0.7), while the odds were higher in nonmonogamous or violent Relationships than in monogamous or nonviolent Relationships (1.6 and 1.9, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Young women's pregnancy desire changes depending on their Intimate Relationship context, across the range of Relationships they experience during the transition to adulthood.

Intimate Relationship dynamics and women s expected control over sex and contraception
Contraception, 2019Co-Authors: Yasamin Kusunoki, Jennifer S BarberAbstract:Abstract Objective We examined whether women’s experiences across and within their Intimate Relationships affect their expected level of control over sex and contraceptive use. Study design We used data from 648 women ages 18–20 in the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life (RDSL) study, which interviewed a random, population-based sample in a Michigan county. We used ordered logistic regression with fixed-effects to control for individual- and Relationship-level characteristics. Results We found a u-shaped Relationship between intimacy/commitment and expected control, with the lowest expected control in the least Intimate/committed and the most Intimate/committed Relationships, and the highest expected control in the intermediate Relationships. Women expected more control in their long-term compared to short-term Relationships, and expected control increases over time in a specific Relationship. Women also expected less control in their conflictual and/or asymmetric Relationships – those with older and/or violent partners, and expected control decreases after experiencing violence or a partner’s non-monogamy. Conclusions Our results are consistent with cross-sectional research suggesting that women in violent Relationships experience more reproductive coercion than women in non-violent Relationships, but we also found that other aspects of Intimate Relationships are important determinants of expected control over sex and contraception. Implications Intervention strategies should consider a wider range of Intimate Relationship characteristics – beyond violence – to improve women’s control of their reproductive behaviors.

The Dynamic Interplay Between Satisfaction With Intimate Relationship Functioning and Daily Mood in Low‐Income Outpatients
Family Process, 2018Co-Authors: Rebecca L. Brock, Molly R. Franz, Jessica J. O'bleness, Erika LawrenceAbstract:Substantial research supports bidirectional links between Intimate Relationship discord and individual psychopathology, including depressive symptoms. However, few studies have utilized daily diary methods to capture the micro-level processes underlying the association between couple discord and depression, particularly among populations that are at elevated risk for both interpersonal and individual dysfunction. To address this gap, we examined whether daily changes in satisfaction with Relationship functioning were associated with daily changes in negative affect and positive affect over the span of 2 weeks among mental health outpatients of low socioeconomic status. Participants were 53 low-income outpatients from community mental health clinics who completed a semi-structured interview about the quality of their Intimate Relationships followed by 14 daily reports of positive and negative mood and satisfaction with Relationship functioning across several domains. Growth curve analytic techniques revealed the hypothesized bidirectional relations. Decline in satisfaction with Relationship functioning predicted escalation in negative affect and deterioration in positive affect over 2 weeks, and deterioration of mood predicted declining satisfaction with Relationship functioning. This study extends existing knowledge about couple dysfunction and individual psychopathology by highlighting the immediate nature of this dynamic process as it unfolds over time.
