We examined the role of contextualized, group-level ratings of a family-supportive work climate on the link between individuals' aggressiveness and marital quality in a sample of 1,604 married male active duty soldiers from brigades in the southeastern United States.

This study examined the role of a family-supportive work climate and the link between Service members’ aggressiveness and their overall marital quality. Family-supportive work climates were found to have a positive influence on marital quality.

We evaluated the preliminary effectiveness of a novel intervention that was developed to address combat stress injuries in active-duty military personnel.

A program development and evaluation study with a sample of Marine Service Members assessed the initial clinical feasibility of adaptive disclosure (AD), a new intervention developed to address combat stress injuries in Active Duty Service members.

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current perceptions of breast-feeding support for active duty women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Perceptions of support for breastfeeding in the workplace for women serving in Active Duty across all branches of the military were examined. Results indicate that military personnel feel there is a moderate level of support for breastfeeding in the workplace.

This study employed the relational turbulence model to examine features of relational communication and dimensions of relational inferences during the postdeployment transition for military service members.
