Abstract Created by REACH
One of the greatest concerns assessed among Service members relates to the consequences deployment may have on their relationships. This study examined how Service members’ alcohol abuse contributes to the relationship between negative emotionality, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and relationship quality. Results indicate that negative emotionality predisposes combat-exposed soldiers to more severe PTSD symptoms which, in turn, contributes to poorer intimate relationship quality.
