Contextualizing the Psychosocial Well-Being of Military Members and Their Partners: The Importance of Community and Relationship Provisions

Interpersonal resources (e.g., having someone to count on, getting and receiving guidance, sharing activities and interests) are vital to individuals’ well-being. Associations between Service members’ and their partners’ community connections, interpersonal resources, and psychosocial well-being (e.g., anxiety and depression symptoms, self-efficacy) were examined. Military couples with more community connections have more interpersonal resources and, in turn, greater psychosocial well-being.
