The causal effects of Vietnam-era military service on post-war family dynamics
2013, Social Science ResearchCitation Excerpt :Since LaGrone (1978), researchers have investigated the effect of the so-called “military family” characterized by “authoritarian fathers, depressed mothers, and out-of-control children” (Palmer, 2008: 205). Factors such as frequent relocation, father’s absence during deployment, and the strain of PTSD following mobilization have linked military service to behavioral problems in the children of veterans (Jensen et al., 1986, 1991; LaGrone, 1978; Palmer, 2008). On the other hand, military service has been associated with an opportunity for self-improvement for men of disadvantaged backgrounds (Elder, 1986; Elder et al., 1991), the mitigation of racial inequalities (Lundquist, 2006a, 2006b), and increased marital stability (Call and Teachman, 1991, 1996).
