本研究检验了(a)部署前和部署期间的关系功能与部署期间的通信频率之间的关联；(b)部署期间关系功能与抑郁之间的关联及其对服务人员职责绩效评级的影响。参与者是144名空军伙伴，他们在伊拉克进行为期一年的高风险部署之前和期间接受了评估。结果显示，在部署期间，合作伙伴交流的总体频率很高。部署前的高关系困扰预示着部署期间较低的沟通频率。从部署前到部署期间，关系困扰的变化独立地预测了通信频率，高于或超过部署前的困扰水平。部署期间的关系困扰和抑郁水平独立预测服务成员对职责表现的影响评级。
This study examined (a) the association between relationship functioning prior to and during deployment, and the frequency of communication during deployment; and (b) the association between relationship functioning and depression during deployment and their influence on service members' ratings of duty performance. Participants were 144 partnered Airmen assessed immediately before and during a one-year high-risk deployment to Iraq. Results showed an overall high frequency of partner communication during deployment. High relationship distress at predeployment predicted lower frequency of communication during deployment. Changes in relationship distress from before deployment to during deployment independently predicted frequency of communication, above and beyond predeployment distress levels. Level of relationship distress and depression during deployment independently predicted service members' ratings of impact on duty performance.
