“…The analyses also showed ex‐POWs and control veterans did not differ at T2 in age, education, religiosity, or fathers' country of birth. Furthermore, the groups did not differ in participation in previous wars, combat exposure, and number of negative life events after the war (for full description of the sample, see Zerach, Kanat‐Maymon, Aloni, & Solomon, ).…”

“…Therefore, it has been suggested that veterans' PTSS may be implicated in the ST of their adult offspring (e.g., Pedras & Pereira, 2014). Furthermore, studies indicate that ex-POWs' adult offspring have not only reported a greater number of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) compared to offspring of noncaptive veterans (e.g., Zerach, 2015;Zerach & Aloni, 2015), but also that their PTSS were closely related to their fathers' PTSS (e.g., Zerach, Kanat-Maymon, Aloni, & Solomon, 2016).…”

This study examined the moderating effect couple forgiveness (as perceived by the wives/mothers) may have on the intergenerational transmission of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) among families of combat veterans and former prisoners of war (ex-POWs). The sample included 123 (79 ex-POWs and 44 control combatants) Israeli father-mother-adult offspring triads. Self-report measures were administered at 2008 to veterans, at 2010-2011 to wives, and at 2013-2014 to offspring. The findings indicated that ex-POWs' PTSS were positively related to their offspring's PTSS, while couple forgiveness buffered this effect, particularly, and detrimentally, when couple forgiveness was low. These findings imply that apprehending the quality of the forgiving atmosphere within the marital relationship may be important for understanding the apparatus of intergenerational transmissions of trauma.

“…The present investigation is part of a longitudinal study on the psychological implications of war veterans, some of whom were former prisoners of war (for full details see Solomon, Horesh, Ein‐Dor, & Ohry, ). A cohort of male Israeli veterans from the 1973 Yom Kippur War, as well as their wives (see Greene, Lahav, Bronstein, & Solomon, ) and offspring (see Zerach, Kanat‐Maymon, Aloni, & Solomon, ) were located via Israel Defense Forces (IDF) files. Potential participants were contacted by telephone and asked to take part in the study.…”

Research indicates that posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) induced by war trauma may be transmitted to veterans' wives and offspring (secondary traumatic stress; STS). However, the interplay between family members' characteristics has not been accounted for in such processes. Taking a family systems perspective, we examine the contributions of fathers' PTSS, mothers' STS, marital adjustment, and self-disclosure of both parents to offspring's STS and test whether marital quality applies as a mechanism of parent-child transmission. Combat veterans and former prisoners of war (N = 123), their spouses, and adult offspring were investigated in a multiple-step mediation analysis. The results highlight the mother's crucial role in trauma transmission and suggest that strengthening the marital relationship may buffer the transmission of fathers' PTSS to offspring.
