Summary
An examination of the relationship between rejection sensitivity (the degree to which an individual expects rejection by a significant other) and marital adjustment post-deployment was conducted. Two surveys were given to 129 spouses of deployed Service members. Overall findings suggest a negative association between rejection sensitivity and marital adjustment.
