研究表明，在过渡时期，吐露自己的挣扎以及与同情的人建立联系是至关重要的。虽然在各种背景下对信息披露进行了研究，但美国退伍军人回归公民社会的信息披露策略尚未得到探讨。通过对15名重新融入公民社会的退伍军人的定性研究，我们发现，在服兵役期间学习和表现的超级男性化文化导致退伍军人在退役后披露或不披露的挑战，对退伍军人如何顺利过渡回公民社会产生了负面影响。我们探讨了退伍军人在线下和在线环境下的信息披露问题和策略，发现退伍军人使用在线平台来应对限制信息披露的挑战，并与支持性资源建立联系。最后，我们介绍了延迟披露的概念——当人们推迟在过渡时期公布他们的挣扎时——并为政策、设计和未来的工作提供启示，以帮助退伍军人管理他们的过渡。
Research suggests that the disclosure of struggles and the connection with sympathetic others are critical during periods of transition. Whereas disclosure has been studied in various contexts, the disclosure strategies of USA (US) veterans transitioning back into civil society has not been explored. Through a qualitative study with 15 veterans re-integrating into civil society, we find that the culture of hyper-masculinity learned and performed during military service leads to challenges to disclosure, or non-disclosure, post-service, negatively impacting how military veterans navigate the transition back into civil society. We explore the disclosure issues and strategies of veterans in both offline and online contexts, finding that veterans used online platforms to navigate the challenges limiting disclosure and connect with supportive resources. We conclude by introducing the concept of delayed disclosure--when people postpone making their struggles known in transition--and provide implications for policy, design and future work to help veterans manage their transitions.
