Abstract

The paper presents the results of empirical research of correlation between victimity and patterns of marital coping in families with disabled children. Principal component analysis allowed to identify three patterns of marital coping: «wife's confrontation with husband»; «husband's blaming of wife» and «husband`s distancing from problem». It was found that patterns «wife's confrontation with husband» and «husband's blaming of wife» are positively correlated. Wife`s types of victimisation are positively correlated with pattern of marital coping «wife's confrontation with husband». Husband`s roleplay of victim is positively correlated with pattern «husband's blaming of wife» and husband`s social role of victim is negatively correlated with pattern «husband`s distancing from problem». But there is no evidence for establishing a causal relationship between victimity and patterns of marital coping behaviour.
