Deployment affects not just the service members, but also their family members back home. Accordingly, this study examined how resilient family processes during a deployment (i.e., frequency of communication and household management) were related to the personal reintegration of each family member (i.e., how well each family member begins to "feel like oneself again" after a deployment), as well as several indicators of subjective well-being. Drawing from the family attachment network model (Riggs & Riggs, 2011), the present study collected survey data from 273 service members, their partners, and their adolescent children. Resilient family processes during the deployment itself (i.e., frequency of communication, household management), postdeployment positive and negative personal reintegration, and several indicators of well-being were assessed. Frequency of communication was related to personal reintegration for service members, while household management was related to personal reintegration for nondeployed partners; both factors were related to personal reintegration for adolescents. Negative and positive personal reintegration related to a variety of subjective well-being outcomes for each individual family member. Interindividual (i.e., crossover) effects were also found, particularly between adolescents and nondeployed partners. (PsycINFO Database Record
部署不仅会影响到服务成员，还会影响到他们在国内的家庭成员。因此，本研究考察了部署期间（即沟通频率和家庭管理）弹性家庭过程如何与每个家庭成员的个人再融入（即每个家庭成员在部署后“开始感觉像自己”的程度）以及几个主观幸福感指标相关。本研究借鉴家庭依恋网络模型（Riggs & Riggs, 2011），从 273 名服务成员、他们的伴侣和他们十几岁的孩子那里收集了调查数据。评估了部署期间（即沟通频率、家庭管理）的弹性家庭过程、部署后积极和消极的个人再融入以及几个幸福感指标。沟通频率与服务成员的个人再融入有关，而家庭管理与非部署伴侣的个人再融入有关；这两个因素都与青少年的个人再融入有关。积极和消极的个人再融入与每个家庭成员的各种主观幸福感结果有关。还发现了个体间（即交叉）的影响，特别是在青少年和非部署伴侣之间。
