In the present study we attempted to identify predictors of positive treatment outcome following behavioral marital therapy. In addition to replicating the findings from previous studies, we were interested in discerning the role of affiliation/independence preferences in predicting response to therapy. A hierarchical regression approach was used to predict changes in marital satisfaction immediately after treatment and at a 6-month follow-up. The only variable that significantly predicted outcome at both posttest and follow-up was a measure reflecting traditional affiliation/independence patterns: Couples with a highly affiliative wife and a highly independent husband were less likely to benefit from behavioral marital therapy. Depressive symptoms were also associated with positive outcomes at posttest. Several variables found to predict outcome in past research were not significant predictors in the present study, including age, femininity, and divorce potential.
