Exploring Life Satisfaction Positive Negative Affect Resilience And Gratitude Intervention Among Military Children

Abstract

Military life consists of unique challenges and opportunities for growth. This career pathway offers its members the chance to serve, live and die for the safety and security of the nation. When one member of the family leads a physically and psychologically taxing life, it impacts the well-being of the other family members as well. The military children have been considered rough and tough, confident and resilient individuals (Skomorovsky and Dursun, 2022) despite the unique challenges they face like frequent relocations, unstable routines, anxiety associated with the serving parent s deployment tenure, grief, etc., Through an in-depth review of the literature, it was concluded that research on military children has majorly focused on the deficit approach wherein their hardships and traumas have been a focal point. A systematic exploration of military children s experiences, their sources of strengths, and their well-being indicators have not been studied extensively. Further, very few types of research have focused on interventions to enhance these well-being indicators. This is especially true in the Indian context. newline
