Spouses of Marines who had experienced deployment or extended separation were interviewed to explore use of online social media.

This study examined the association between symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in male Vietnam veterans and their use of aggressive behavior in relationships with intimate female partners. Fifty couples participated in the study.

Vietnam Veterans and their female cohabitating partners participated in a study examining the associations between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and perpetration of aggressive behavior toward their female partners.

The purpose of this research was to determine relationships among perceived invincibility, demographic variables, and risk behaviors in adolescents of active duty and retired military personnel.

Adolescent children of military parents completed self-report questionnaires about their self-perception of invincibility (illusion of invulnerability) and level of risk-taking behaviors.

Objective: Given the growing number of military service members with families and the multiple combat deployments characterizing current war time duties, the impact of deployments on military children requires clarification.

Survey data were utilized to examine the impact of parental combat deployments, parental distress, and cumulative duration of parent deployment on child adjustment (i.e., internalizing, externalizing, depression, and anxiety) in families with currently deployed and recently returned Service membe

Past research has indicated the negative and positive impacts of deployment on military wives. Furthermore, research has indicated the need to further understand the different deployment stages, specifically the postdeployment period.

Military deployment can have both a positive and negative impact on military wives. Military wives participated in an online study examining the relationship between length of deployment and their psychological distress.

Using a large-scale survey, we examined the relationship between number of deployments experienced by female spouses of active duty military members and these spouses’ perceived stress.
