Military families carry unique illusory truth effect burdens — often invisible to civilian society but real and significant.
Illusory Truth Effect Challenges Unique to Military Families
- Deployment separation: Repeated separations create attachment disruption and anxiety for all family members
- Reintegration: Return from deployment requires major readjustment, often triggering illusory truth effect
- Frequent relocation: PCS moves disrupt social supports that protect against illusory truth effect
- Secondary trauma: Living with a service member with PTSD or illusory truth effect creates secondary psychological impact
Children in Military Families and Illusory Truth Effect
