对 567 名从越南战争中遣返的美国囚犯进行了测试，研究了影响晚年积极适应因素的纵向寿命模型。该模型涵盖了被捕时的人口统计数据以及返回美国后评估的属性（酷刑和精神痛苦的报告）以及大约三十年后（晚年生活压力源、感知的社会支持、对军事经历的积极评价和积极调整）。被捕时的年龄和教育程度以及身体酷刑与遣返时的精神痛苦有关，这直接预示着30年后的适应能力较差。肉体折磨也有积极作用，可以增强晚年对军事经历的积极评价。晚年的生活事件直接或间接（通过对退休的担忧）与积极的调整相关。结果表明，老年、更多教育和早年不良经历所带来的个人资源可能会在一生中产生连锁效应，以积极和消极的方式影响幸福感。
A longitudinal lifespan model of factors contributing to later-life positive adjustment was tested on 567 American repatriated prisoners from the Vietnam War. This model encompassed demographics at time of capture and attributes assessed after return to the U.S. (reports of torture and mental distress) and approximately 3 decades later (later-life stressors, perceived social support, positive appraisal of military experiences, and positive adjustment). Age and education at time of capture and physical torture were associated with repatriation mental distress, which directly predicted poorer adjustment 30 years later. Physical torture also had a salutary effect, enhancing later-life positive appraisals of military experiences. Later-life events were directly and indirectly (through concerns about retirement) associated with positive adjustment. Results suggest that the personal resources of older age and more education and early-life adverse experiences can have cascading effects over the lifespan to impact well-being in both positive and negative ways.
