Note. N = 46 couples. All estimates are unstandardized. A patient-spouse residual covariance was estimated but not reported. BC stage was initially included as a covariate represented by 3 dummy variables, none of which were significant predictors of patient or spouse FCR or changed the pattern of results; therefore, they were excluded from the final model for parsimony.
