- O’Neal, C. W., & Lavner, J. A. (2022). Latent profiles of postdeployment reintegration among service members and their partners. Journal of Family Psychology. 36(1), 35–45. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/fam0000894
- This study explores whether Service members (n = 236) and their civilian partners (n = 141) have diverse reintegration experiences (i.e., the time following deployment when military families adjust to the Service member’s return). Participants reported both positive and negative reintegration experiences across their personal and family life. These reintegration experiences were used to classify similar participants into groups, and these groups were analyzed for differences in individual and family functioning (e.g., sleep duration, depressive symptoms, family closeness). Despite reporting some differences in reintegration experiences, most Service members and civilian partners reported high levels of positive personal and family reintegration experiences.
