Current military conflicts have increased the deployment of military personnel, most of whom are married. Little research has been conducted examining the effects of deployment on children. The purpose of the study was to determine whether there were any differences in the level of internal distress and personal adjustment in children from military families who has a parent deployed as compared to children whose parent is not currently deployed. Cognitive appraisal theory and the theory of fear acquisition guided the study. Participants (ages 9-10) included 31 children from Army families and 11 children from Air Force families. Standardized instruments used include the Behavior Assessment System for Children, Second Edition (BASC-2), the Life Events Checklist (LEC), and the Draw a Person: Screening Procedure for Emotional Disturbance (DAP: SPED). Data were analyzed using independent T tests and correlations. The results suggested that the two groups did not differ statistically on the three measures used. The children in both groups endorsed clinical and developmental indicators of distress on the critical items on the BASC-2. There was a significant correlation between parent and child scores on the Internalizing Problems scale from the BASC-2. On the LEC, the overall sample of children noted that deployment is a negative life event and that the current environment is highly stressful. Implications for social change include improved prevention programming that is coordinated between existing military family support services and schools. By better serving these children who are potentially at risk for emotional problems, the military, as well as the families who serve, would be strengthened.Subjects--Topical Terms:
