The challenges of peacekeeping place individuals at risk for the development of significant psychological distress (e.g., B. T. Litz, S. Orsillo, M. Freidman, P. Ehlich, & A. Batres, 1997). Self-disclosure has been shown to ameliorate psychological distress following exposure to potentially traumatic events (J. W. Pennebaker & K. D. Harber, 1993). Sharing, or self-disclosure of deployment-related experiences, was the focus of this study and was hypothesized to be associated with adaptation. As part of a larger investigation, 426 U.S. military personnel who served as peacekeepers in Somalia were administered a comprehensive psychosocial questionnaire that included measures of exposure to negative and potentially traumatic experiences, reception at homecoming, self-disclosure, and PTSD symptom severity. The results indicate that adjustment to peacekeeping is significantly related to self-disclosure, especially to supportive significant others.
维和行动的挑战使个人面临产生严重心理困扰的风险（例如，B.T.利茨、S.奥尔西洛、M.弗里德曼、P.埃利希和A.巴特雷斯，1997年）。研究表明，自我表露能够缓解在经历潜在创伤性事件后出现的心理困扰（J.W.彭尼贝克和K.D.哈伯，1993年）。分享，或者说自我表露与部署相关的经历，是本研究的重点，并且假设它与适应有关。作为一项更大规模调查的一部分，426名曾在索马里担任维和人员的美国军事人员接受了一份全面的社会心理调查问卷，其中包括接触负面和潜在创伤性经历、回国后的待遇、自我表露以及创伤后应激障碍症状严重程度的测量。结果表明，对维和行动的适应与自我表露显著相关，尤其是与给予支持的重要他人的自我表露。
