Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Attachment, and Intimate Partner Violence in a Military Sample: A Preliminary Analysis
Abstract
Contemporary military service members and their families face unique stressors that impact the quality of romantic relationships. With divorce rates among military couples on the rise, the authors focused on the relationships between posttraumatic stress disorder, intimate partner violence, and attachment style. Subjects consisted of 20 heterosexual couples, where the male was the service member. Researchers used a series of path models to determine if a link existed between these variables. Results highlight the important role of spouses in the service members' experience of posttraumatic stress disorder, intimate partner violence, and attachment. Implications for research and working with military couples are discussed.

“Indeed, almost all correlational studies, with two exceptions (Frey et al., 2011; Weiss et al., 2011), found significant and positive correlation between the anxious dimension of attachment and IPV victimization.”

In the citing paper
“Turning to the attachment dimension of avoidance, results are more contrasting with five studies showing associations with IPV victimization (Wekerle and Wolfe, 1998; Frey et al., 2011; Weiss et al., 2011; Shechory, 2013; La Flair et al., 2015) and others failing to replicate such results (Yarkovsky and Timmons Fritz, 2014; Lewis et al., 2017; McClure and Parmenter, 2017).”

“Also, two studies, using structural equation modeling, evidenced that attachment insecurity may mediate the relationship between IPV and psychological symptoms as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (Frey et al., 2011) or depression (La Flair et al., 2015).”

“It has to be noted that the sample in this study is particularly small and results are consequently difficult to generalize to the whole population.”

In the citing paper
“Also, Frey et al. (2011) found a negative and significant correlation (albeit very weak: r = −0.03) between IPV victimization and anxious attachment in female partners of men doing military service.”

“The dismissing-anxious pattern seems to be the most common configuration in couples with one-sided IPV (Bookwala, 2002; Frey et al., 2011; Wilson et al., 2013).”

“In the context of adult romantic relationships, an avoidant attachment style exists when a partner is uncomfortable with being close to others and is unable to trust or rely on others (Hazan & Shaver, 1987).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
