Psychosocial and Life Stress Characteristics of Navy Families: Family Environment Scale and Life Experiences Scale Findings

Type
Summary
785 Navy Sailors and their wives completed surveys including the family environment scale and life experience scale to examine the impact of command assignment and place in the deployment cycle on life stress and family environment. Family environment scale scores were comparable to non-distressed civilian family norms, and these scores were not impacted by place in the deployment cycle.
