Parents play an important role in helping children regulate their emotions. By observing mothers and children interacting when the children were disappointed, researchers examined the relation between maternal use of emotion regulation strategies and children’s expression of negative emotions.
In a sample of 153 children from preschool through second grade, relations between the use of emotion regulation strategy and children's expression of anger and sadness were coded during an observational task in which children were intentionally disappointed in the presence of the mother.
Interview data of Army wives were utilized in an effort to capture the nature of their experiences and to obtain a deeper understanding of the military, deployment, and separation from their unique viewpoint.
Interviews with 25 military wives to elicit their lived experience of Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom deployment found two main themes: the recipe for being a good military wife and managing split loyalties.
Marriages under stress are generally at increased risk of ending in separation and divorce.
Recently deployed Soldiers were surveyed to assess the relationship between posttraumatic growth (recognized benefits from overcoming a very challenging life circumstance), combat exposure, and negative behavioral health conditions (suicidal ideation, alcohol misuse, depression, posttraumatic str
Objectives: This study assessed posttraumatic growth (PTG) in a sample of U.S. Army Soldiers using the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), and the relationship between PTG and negative behavioral health (BH) conditions.
Researchers evaluated gender differences in a variety of combat-related stress dimensions and associated consequences for postdeployment mental health in a representative sample of female and male U.S. Veterans who had returned from deployment to Afghanistan or Iraq within the previous year.
Though the broader literature suggests that women may be more vulnerable to the effects of trauma exposure, most available studies on combat trauma have relied on samples in which women's combat exposure is limited and analyses that do not directly address gender differences in associations
Active Duty Army soldiers participated in pre- and post-deployment screenings.
A retrospective cohort study was conducted to examine risk and protective factors for combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms reported by soldiers (n = 2,583) at postdeployment.
Focus groups and interviews were held with military wives to gain insight into their experiences while their husbands were deployed during wartime.
One of therapists’ contemporary moral imperatives is to support American service members and their families regardless of personal position on the Global War on Terrorism.
Partners of civilian and military members participated in a survey to understand communication difference among military and civilian couples.
Relationships are increasingly impacted by military involvement, necessitating a deeper understanding of communication within these couples.
Interview data from Reserve and Army National Guard men deployed in support of OIF/OEF were examined to explore the importance of military friendships during and after deployment.
Social relationships are important to health outcomes. The postdeployment family reintegration literature focuses on the role of the civilian family in facilitating the transition from Active Duty military deployment to civilian society.
Objective: This empirical case study describes Prevent Child Abuse Georgia’s effort to prevent child sexual abuse (CSA) by educating communities throughout the state on supporting preventive behaviour.
Survey data were used to explore whether expressing fear in situations low in threat at age two predicted the risk for developing anxiety by the start of kindergarten.
In the current study, the author tested a model of risk for anxiety in fearful toddlers characterized by the toddlers' regulation of the intensity of withdrawal behavior across a variety of contexts.
Men and women who had served in Iraq or Afghanistan were surveyed to identify family, personal, and work reintegration difficulties that could be targeted for intervention.
The experience of war changes people – some will acknowledge that the changes are positive and some will feel the opposite or a combination, but that it changes a person cannot be disputed.
Department of Defenese (DoD) Birth and Infant Health Registry data were used to examine whether maternal deployment during pregnancy was associated with adverse health outcomes at birth and in the first year of life.
BACKGROUND: Military professionals who deploy to combat operations may encounter hazards that could adversely affect reproductive health. Pregnant woman are generally exempt from deployment to military operations, however, exposures to such environments may inadvertently occur.
The relationships between teacher-child relationships, academic achievement, and behavioral problems were evaluated in a nationally representative sample of elementary school children.
Despite recent growth in research highlighting the potential of teacher–child relationships to promote children’s development during the early years of school, questions remain about the importance of these relationships across elementary school.
This article presents findings from a meta-analysis of 213 school-based, universal social and emotional learning (SEL) programs involving 270,034 kindergarten through high school students.
Survey data was used to examine whether deployment among Active Duty military personnel increases risky or self-destructive behavior.
Although research has documented negative effects of combat deployment on mental health, few studies have examined whether deployment increases risky or self-destructive behavior. The present study addressed this issue.
National Guard Soldiers may face post-deployment stressors affecting mental health that Active Duty Service members do not (e.g., job loss, lack of employer support, financial hardship, negative effects on co-workers).
